Coventry Music Education Hub
Coventry Music Education Hub (MEH) is represented on the MAC MEH Strategy Group by the lead organisation Coventry Music. The strategy group is made up of five hubs leads who meet monthly, to support and challenge each other to move the needle on inclusion in their organisations and partnerships facilitated by MAC Makes Music.
Inclusion Stories
These posts are from a set of case studies called ‘Working Together to Move the Needle on Inclusion in Five West Midlands Music Education Hubs’, produced by Anita Holford. Anita met with members of staff at Coventry Music to find out more about how and why inclusion is at the heart of their programming, workforce and delivery.
Here are some examples of how we have supported and collaborated with Coventry MEH;
| Strategic | Workforce | Music Delivery |

| Individual bespoke consultancy - regular 1:1s with hub lead and senior management team | Shadowing opportunities on SEMHD and SEND programmes | West Midlands Inclusive Choir - online delivery and support with Sandwell rehearsals |
