At the start of the September 2022 term 19 pupils embarked on a journey with Future Sound and the Abram Wilson Charity to focus on skills that wouldn’t normally be offered as part of their in-school music curriculum, the full story can be found here.

Future Sound created an official video that features saxophonist, composer and bandleader Emma Johnson, who led the project, along with students from Co-op Academy North Manchester and musicians Richard Jones, Alex Robinson, Nishla Smith, Nick Williams and Aaron Wood.

S Hands, Principal, Co-op Academy North Manchester said

It is an amazing experience and the reflections of the musicians and our pupils around confidence and creativity make me really proud. This project was not possible without the commitment from the pupils and staff involved and it has yielded unconscionable happiness and success.
