About this cause

Music in West Kilbride (MiWK) aims to encourage interest in live music by residents. It achieves this through an annual programme of concerts and an education programme which is largely being developed in conjunction with West Kilbride Primary School (WKPS) but also with the secondary schools in Saltcoats, Ardrossan and Largs. This application is to support the costs of developing a long term music programme in conjunction with the primary school. This project will consist of a team of musicians working regularly in the school and helping staff to develop their pupils' interest in music as a part of their creative curriculum. The programme will help to develop pupils capacity for working in a team as well as their confidence in performance.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Music is fundamental to the Scottish culture and sense of identity. We believe that a community that has a rich stream of musical ability within it is a community that will enjoy a stronger sense of its collective identity. Music is a social skill that can be employed to positive effect in a range of different contexts. Music is also recognised as conferring emotional and intellectual benefits.
