Testimonials
"At Clifford Bridge, we’re making brilliant use of the Digital Music Festival YouTube performances by playing them as the whole school enters the hall for assemblies. These live‑recorded performances give all children the chance to access, enjoy and celebrate the talents of young musicians across the Heart of England Music Hub. Pupils love seeing and hearing instruments they may never have encountered before, and it’s wonderful to watch them light up and join in with songs they know and love. It’s a simple, free and highly effective way to bring live music into school, creating a shared musical experience that children genuinely enjoy. There are 192 short one minute clips to choose from and you can explore the full range of online content using this link"
Madaleine Turner, Headteacher at Clifford Bridge Academy Diital Music Festival 2026
"We, as a family like many others, attended the Belgrade theatre last Wednesday to watch the recent show put on by yourselves and although we were obviously there primarily to support Michael and his ensemble (soundboard/fretworks), we thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. We felt it was an excellent performance by all involved. It is great to see so many talented young people in Coventry have the opportunity to perform at such a venue. As so much of the learning, practicing and developing happens away from the public eye, its great that these events are put on so that all their hard work and skills can be seen by others. So, congratulations to the team and all those involved with organising the great event. All your effort and time that is put into these events, as well as the on- going service that is provided by everyone, is very much appreciated."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for arranging the visit by Ed Sheeran and his team. Annabelle was totally surprised and overjoyed when she played with Electric Blue and it has motivated and enthused further. Thank you for everything you do."

"My 10 year old daughter attended the sing event at the transport museum and loved it. Great opportunity really boosted her confidence."
Parent - Sing half term workshop
"More than anything else, I really just wanted to thank you. I admit I was shocked when [my child] chose this beast of an instrument, especially as she hadn’t had any prior training on any instrument! Yet, I’ve watched her come home from school each day and practise all of her own accord. It has been an absolute joy to see her progress and I’m shocked at how quick she has been able to pick it all up. [My child] ... absolutely loves the lesson time with you, and we’ve noticed her confidence grow. So, I wanted to thank you for inspiring her and being such a great teacher."
Clair Chaytors, parent of a cello student
