Redbridge Music Service: Consultation for children and young people

We want to hear what children and young people think about Redbridge Music Service at the John Savage Centre and how we can make the service even better.

This will help Redbridge Council make some decisions about where music lessons will take place in the future.

Your answers will help the Council and Redbridge Music Service understand what is important to you before any decisions are made about the future.

You do not have to answer every question and there are no right or wrong answers.
