Amplifying Change

Resources to explore under-represented music and voices

Amplifying Change is a project which brings together musical resources to help teachers explore inclusive and often under-represented stories and composers in a variety of contexts.

The programme was launched in October 2022 as part of MMF’s celebration of Black History Month and has since been expanded to incorporate LGBT+ and Women’s History Month resources. Moving forward it will continue to evolve, collecting external resources as well as new MMF commissions celebrating historically marginalised voices, throughout celebration months and beyond.
