Become an Associate
Our Associates are the music education workforce in Wiltshire. Any individual or organisation working to support music education and opportunities for children and young people in Wiltshire can apply to become an Associate, which is subsidised by GSW Music Hub and costs nothing to join.
All Associate individuals and organisations go through a quality assurance process that includes an interview, Safeguarding and Child Protection Training, Enhanced DBS checks, and reference checks. Associates must also sign up to the Terms and Conditions of membership, which outlines the benefits and expectations.
In addition to being listed in our free, searchable directory, Associates have access to student tuition and instrument hire subsidies, funding opportunities, and bespoke apps promoting work and other opportunities in Wiltshire. Associates are valued members of our music hub and help shape the future of music making in Wiltshire.
