Early bird tickets now available for Inclusive Practice in Action 2027

The future of inclusive music practice isn't something we build alone - it grows through shared ideas, bold conversations, meaningful partnerships and a collective commitment to ensuring every child and young person can thrive through music.

For 2027 we’re taking our annual Inclusive Practice In Action gathering (IPIA) to the incredible Culture House in Sunderland, and we're inviting young people, practitioners, musicians, organisations and advocates from across the UK to come together for a day of learning, creativity, connection and celebration.

Bring your questions. Bring your ideas. Bring your colleagues. Most importantly, bring your commitment to making music more inclusive for everyone.

Sound Connections exists to create change. We work across the music community to achieve inclusion, equity and social justice. We do this through supporting young people, the music education workforce, and the wider music education sector. In addition to delivering charitable programmes, we offer a comprehensive consultancy service for music, arts, cultural and heritage organisations.

Our dedicated team work across our specialisms to create high quality musical opportunities for young Londoners, support music practitioners and strengthen the music sector.

And they are backed by our board of trustees who oversee the governance of Sound Connections and guide us on our mission to achieve our charitable objectives.
