Welcome to BCMG's Learning Resource Hub. There are resources and activities here for young people, parents, composers and teachers (secondary music teachers, generalist primary teachers, instrumental teachers) mainly focused on supporting young people to compose. We are delighted to be able to make the resources free but would ask that you credit BCMG if you use them.
