PERFORMANCE & TUITION

OUR PROJECTS

Emerging Voices is a music charity based in Yorkshire that enables adults with lived experience of mental ill health to reach their potential as musicians and artists in a collaborative and friendly environment.

INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

One-to-one mentoring from professional musicians is available through individual song-writing, instrumental & vocal tuition, and artist development. 

TUITION

We offer both instrumental & singing tuition, along with mentoring in song-writing. 

ARTIST DEVELOPMENT

Everyone has the opportunity to perform whether through open mic nights or more formal events such as lunchtime recitals and concerts. In addition to this, we offer support to record individuals’ work through Emerging Voices Records. 

OPEN MIC NIGHTS AND SHOWCASE CONCERTS

Our students have regular opportunities to perform in our open-mic nights and showcase concerts, a chance to develop musically and gain confidence in a sociable and supportive environment. You can hear some of their performances below!
