As part of my role as Head of Musical Inclusion at The Sage, Gateshead, I had a wide ranging conversation with Grant Hutchison of Tiny Changes about mental health and musical inclusion.
Grant was attending MC² - A Mini Conference on Mental Health and Musical Inclusion here at Sage Gateshead. The conference was the first in a new series of mini conferences for Music Leaders, music teachers, project workers and musicians working with children and young people that are experiencing challenging circumstances.
Tiny Changes was set up by the family of Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison following his death in 2018. As a charity, Tiny Changes wants to raise awareness of children and young people’s mental health issues, advance understanding about the root causes and support initiatives that provide help to children and young people impacted by mental health problems.
