Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust (NMPAT) is a charity which provides music and performing arts opportunities for the children and young people of Northamptonshire and beyond. We are the lead partner in the Music Education Hubs for both Northamptonshire and Rutland, and provide teaching in over 95% of the schools in Northamptonshire. We run regional music and performing arts centres across the county and over 30 auditioned county ensembles which are amongst the best in the country. We have a network of specialist instrumental, vocal and drama teachers able to offer individual lessons. We cater for students with special educational needs and in challenging circumstances through our specialist programme, Music Forge. Our core values are to Inspire, Nurture and Excel, and they truly permeate everything we do.
