The award aims to share and celebrate some of the most exciting projects and activities taking place around the UK that have digital and technology as a key component of their success.

The music service, which is shortlisted along with two other music services, offers weekly one-hour sessions to children aged from seven to 14. The sessions introduce students to music technology through exciting modules like music for games, film and podcasting.

This programme is designed for children who might not typically engage with music, providing them with an accessible, creative outlet.

The goal of the sessions is to increase access to music and creativity while demonstrating the positive impact of technology and screen time.

Cllr Cath Hynes, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Leisure, Arts, Culture and Heritage, said: “This is a fantastic achievement by our service. 

“There are so many ways music can be created and be part of the creative process. The Music Production sessions sound so exciting and I’m delighted that we are able to offer children in Trafford such a great programme.

“Culture, sport and heritage for everyone is one of our priorities so I’m thrilled we can offer a different array of sessions that will appeal to all children.”

Music Mark is a national organisation that helps provide high-quality music education for all children and young people.
