The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation exists to celebrate and support people to experience the transformative power of music.
The Leadmill had the pleasure of working with Sarah Nulty whilst the Tramlines offices were based in the studios of the building – this Foundation exists to remember Sarah through the power of music: by bringing happiness and spreading joy to people across the city.
Sheffield Music School and the Tracks project are fully focused on working with young people to empower and engage with music whether in the studio, at a gig or behind the studio desk! Running a weekly term time music school on Saturdays, SMS and the Tracks project works with students to build classes and workshops that help them to make the music that is important to them. From rap to rock, industry talks to branding workshops, they help students to enjoy the process of being a musician.
Sheffield Music School currently operates from one of The Leadmill’s studios – The Leadmill also runs an instrument donation scheme, where people can drop off unwanted instruments or pieces of kit, to be passed on to a loving home.
