Welcome to the website of the ASONE Hub!

As of 1st April 2022, the music hub in Cornwall will be led by ASONE Perform CIC. The ASONE Hub is a partnership of local and regional organisations working together to support the music education of young people in Cornwall. The Hub leads on the strategic development of music education locally and works with a variety of organisations and individuals to meet local needs. We are constantly striving to ensure that we reach all children and young people, regardless of age, location or interests.

Mission

To create aspirational and innovative opportunities for children and young people in Cornwall to enjoy a diverse and inclusive music education which is supported collaboratively across our network of partners.

Vision

That all children and young people in Cornwall can engage and progress with high quality, innovative and inspirational music making opportunities which are relevant to them.

What does the ASONE Hub do?

• Vocal Strategy - Developing a singing strategy to ensure that every pupil sings regularly, and that choirs and other vocal ensembles are available in their area.

Extension Roles
