WELCOME 

This site showcases the prize-winning AHRC-funded Beyond Text project Growing into Music, which looks at children learning and making music in six cultures of Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, through the medium of video. A number of our films can be accessed via the “Video” and individual country tabs.
