Gigs, festivals, concerts, performances, DJ sets.

Music videos, streaming, meta-verse.

On TV, in movies, in games.

To pick you up, to calm you down, for religious and spiritual practice.

Whatever form it takes, experiencing and enjoying the music other people make can play an exciting and important part of your musical life. You can enjoy familiar favourites and discover new music too. This guide will help you find local music performances and experiences to explore and enjoy.

We are all unique. We each have different backgrounds, experiences and interests. We are all at different ages and stages. Not all of the opportunities on this page will be for you, and that’s ok. Depending on how old you are, you might need to ask an adult to help you and/or come along with you.

Online and Streaming

Here are some of the free places you can find and listen to music online. There will be loads more!

Why not use some of these sites to make playlists of music you find and enjoy? You could set up different playlists for different moods or moments: music to pick you up when you’re feeling down, music to help you focus, music to dance to, music to feel sad to, music to get your heart pumping… the possibilities are endless!

Music is all around us

Music is on TV. Music is in films. Music is in video games. Music is in the meta-verse. Music is at important moments in our lives. Music is an important part of many spiritual and religious practices and services. 

There are opportunities to find and experience music all around us, and they can all be part of your unique musical life. 

We’ll never have it all.
