Sound City

This exemplar, entitled 'Sound City' describes a project that is the result of a unique partnership between Birmingham's EiC Gifted and Talented Partnership Co-ordinator, the Birmingham LEA Music Service and Arts Education Director, Sound it Out Community Music and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO). The project initially involved five of the six Gifted and Talented Networks in the City who helped organise a series of showcases, developed through the Gifted and Talented Excellence in Cities Programme. These showcases also helped celebrate the wide range of talents of a diverse community. The project was first proposed by the then Chief Education Officer, Tim Brighouse, who suggested the possibility of a Gifted and Talented (G&T) music strand to the LEA programme of activities.
