At The Sage Gateshead we place a high value on work with the very young. We aim to inspire in children the love of music and the confidence to stay involved with music throughout life, whether as a participant, performer, an audience member or all three.

We provide a wide and varied range of musical programmes for schools, from half day workshops to long term projects, to suit all ranges and abilities. All programmes offer opportunities for staff training and development. We have an extensive, region wide community programme working alongside a range of partners from youth offending teams, arts services to community groups
