It all started when…

In 2015 Cornwall Council chose to dissolve the county ran music service, Music Cornwall. In reaction to this a large group of musicians banded together to create Cornwall Music Service Trust and continue the tradition of music teaching throughout Cornwall. Since that point we have been providing music lessons, ensembles, classroom support and music therapy throughout the county.
