Description: HMS is a team of passionate musicians, teachers and educators who care deeply about enabling young people to experience the benefits of a high quality music education. We deliver the incredible musical, personal and social outcomes that come from learning a musical instrument week in, week out.
Our 11 music centres across the county are local musical community hubs with the ambition of providing engaging, life-long music education as well as a wider variety of activities including music technology, music production and youth leadership opportunities.
We are here to guide you and your family on a unique musical journey - so please get in touch and start making music with HMS!
The service is now one of the largest in the country with many thousands of young people involved in our weekly musical activities, supported by over 300 teachers.
We receive funding from the Department for Education through the Arts Council England, as well as generous support from Hertfordshire County Council to provide world class music tuition to the residents and families of Hertfordshire.
Our vision for 2020-30
All Hertfordshire’s children and young people, regardless of background or circumstances, have the opportunity to discover or develop their unique musical voice and express themselves through the language of music.

HMS has continued to be a beacon of creativity, providing inclusive and high-quality music education that enriches the lives of our young people. I have seen first-hand the transformative power of music, not only in developing individual talent but also in building community and bridging cultural divides through the partnerships with other Hertfordshire County Council teams, including The Virtual School, Services for Young People and Public Health.
