Read the latest issue of Sounding Board journal
Our first edition of 2025 is cause for celebration, as we mark the 35th anniversary of Sounding Board. Since 1990 Sound Sense has been proud to publish Sounding Board, the quarterly journal where we share news, stories and research to support and champion the development of community music practice in the UK and beyond. To celebrate this 35 year milestone, throughout 2025 we'll be taking a look back at the Sounding Board archive over the years; in item 4 of this edition, we look back at the very first issue of Sounding Board, published in 1990.
This issue of Sounding Board is also a celebration of the broad and varied scope of creative work that makes up our community music practice. With the theme of 'Not just music', the articles here explore some of the ways in which community music encompasses other creative artforms. We have wonderful contributions on this theme from Soundcastle & Spun Glass Theatre, Orchestras Live and The Arts Active Trust. Read the latest issue here >
