CF Music Education is a non-profit, joint service hosted by Cardiff Council and the Vale of Glamorgan Council. We provide music experiences, performances and tuition for children and young people and are the lead organisation in the region for the National Plan for Music Education.
We teach around 7,000 children weekly to sing or play a musical instrument, deliver the National Plan for Music Education that supports the Curriculum for Wales. We provide an exciting and diverse range of music tuition, ensemble and collaborative opportunities for all.
Many of our students go on to play in National and UK ensembles such the National Youth Choir, Brass Band and Orchestra of Wales. We pride ourselves in looking after the needs of each child and providing the specialist tuition needed for each child to realise their potential.

We aim to increase access to quality music making, raise standards of music education across all schools and settings, and provide exciting musical pathways for children and young people through tuition and music ensembles.
