Making Tracks is a music project for young people, run by the Irene Taylor Trust.

The projects focus on creating original new music for live performance as a band. The young people are supported to write and play their own music by professional musicians. 

After taking part in the 'intensive' project, the young people are offered follow-on sessions to further explore music making and achieve an Arts Award.

Making Tracks has been running since 2012, including projects in Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Croydon, Tower Hamlets, Hammersmith & Fulham, Manchester, Kent and Bristol.
