Music 🎵
Explore music volunteer opportunities involving teaching, performance, workshops, music production, recording, festivals and other projects where musical skills or activities form part of the experience.
Some hosts look specifically for musicians, singers, music teachers, producers or sound technicians. Other opportunities may involve organising music events, assisting local educators or contributing to community and cultural programmes.
What is music volunteering? 🎵
Music volunteering involves contributing musical skills, knowledge or practical support to a project or organisation. Activities can include teaching an instrument, singing, performing, composing, recording, producing music, assisting with workshops or helping organise concerts and music events.
Music skills and volunteer roles
Before applying, clarify what skills are actually needed, which instruments or styles are involved and whether you will teach, perform, assist or work independently. Some roles welcome enthusiastic amateurs, while others require professional experience, teaching qualifications or technical knowledge.
If music activities involve children or teenagers, check supervision, safeguarding procedures and role boundaries. Volunteers should not replace qualified teachers where professional educational responsibilities are required. You can also read our guidance on volunteering with children.
