The winners of this year’s Music & Drama Education Awards have been announced, with community operas, healthcare-based music projects and inclusive theatremaking leading the way across all categories.  

The Music & Drama Education Awards celebrate the work of organisations, initiatives, charities, schools and individuals making innovative work and helping make music and drama education as inclusive, progressive and dynamic as possible.  

Collaborative projects performed particularly well at this year’s awards, with several musical organisations applauded for their work in the healthcare sector. Live Music Now’s pioneering Lullaby Project was given a high commendation in the Excellence in Primary/Early Years category, pairing new mothers with musicians to write a lullaby for their babies. Music for Good’s ‘Music Prescribed for Wellbeing in a GP Surgery’ won the Rocksteady Award for Progressive and Inclusive Music Education meanwhile, exciting the judges by bringing music into a space where it doesn’t usually belong.
