The Connector programme has been implemented to help “connect” musical opportunities and experiences to young people, this is to inform where they may be able to pursue their musical aspirations and help them find their musical voice.
About your Young Sounds UK connector - Ross
My name is Ross, and music has been a significant part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s one of my biggest passions. I started my musical journey at a young age by participating in groups with Hertfordshire Music Service, and from years 3 to 6, I played the recorder.
However, my true passion ignited when I entered secondary school and began learning the guitar at the age of 12. From that moment on, I knew that music was my calling, and I couldn't imagine pursuing anything else. The guitar sparked a fire within me that shaped my life, it’s something that helped me to express myself with character and emotion.
Throughout my journey, I explored various aspects of music through my studies, performances and recording. Eventually, I returned to Stevenage, where I began teaching guitar across the county. Sharing my love for music brings me immense joy, and it’s incredibly important to me to inspire the same passion in my students and help them to find their own voice and passion with whatever they want to pursue.”
How can Ross help you?
Ross will be heading to different schools and centres across the county to share live music and talk with young people about the benefits of music and talk about what it’s like to be a working musician.
Ross is here to help spread the good word of how the Hertfordshire Music Hub can help you get into music through Hertfordshire Music Service and other opportunities around Hertfordshire.
Ross will be able to help connect young people with opportunities they may want to find, help set out a direction if you have no idea where to start within music education or even help to explore funding opportunities that may be on offer to you.
