ELMA is a consortium of seven East London Music Services
ELMA’s vision is to create a vibrant and inclusive musical ecosystem where every child and young person has access to high-quality music education and music-making opportunities.
We envision a collaborative and supportive network that empowers young musicians, nurtures their talent, and prepares them for a lifelong journey of musical discovery and achievement.
ELMA firmly believes that music education should be accessible to every child, irrespective of their circumstances, background, or abilities.
Inclusivity is at the heart of our work, and we will continue to break through barriers and create equal opportunities for our young people to participate in music-making, employing diverse and inclusive teaching practices and implementing initiatives to engage underrepresented groups in our programmes.
ELMA is committed to collaborative leadership, to support, develop and quality assure our music offer. We are unswerving in expecting excellence of our workforce, and expecting more of our children and young people, in achievement and musical excellence.​
