Meet the Funder:
At Music Evermore CIC, we are delighted to introduce one of our first, and key supporters, Rising Tide AI, a Leeds-based company specialising in practical AI and automation solutions. Founded in 2020, their mission is to help businesses work smarter by solving complex problems with innovative technology.
Our partnership with Rising Tide AI is built on a shared belief in the transformative power of music education. They recognise that learning music fosters confidence, creativity, and essential life skills in young people. This understanding led them to support our mission of making music accessible to all, particularly those who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
Thanks to Rising Tide AI, we have been able to reach over 100 students per week across two schools – Webster Primary School and St Mary’s Primary School in Moss Side, Manchester. Through their support, we have been able to provide full-class band workshops, rock ’n’ roll choirs, small group sessions, and 1-2-1 tuition. The impact has been incredible, with many students already preparing to take their first RSL Rockschool graded exams – a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm they have shown in their lessons.
Interestingly, the worlds of AI and music are more connected than they might seem. AI is increasingly shaping music education in exciting ways, including:
🎸 Personalised Learning – AI-powered platforms can tailor lessons to each student’s progress, providing a truly customised experience.
🥁 Real-Time Feedback – Innovative tools now offer instant feedback during practice sessions, helping students improve their skills more efficiently.
🎤 Creative Assistance – AI can suggest melodies, harmonies, and rhythms, supporting young musicians in their creative process.
🎶 Collaboration Opportunities – AI helps connect young musicians with like-minded peers, making it easier to form bands and collaborate on music projects, regardless of location.
Rising Tide AI’s support has enabled us to continue delivering engaging, high-quality music programmes, opening doors to creativity, self-expression and community for so many young people. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and excited about the continued impact we can achieve together.
A message to the young musicians from Iain
To the students who’ll benefit from the brilliant work of Music Evermore: we’re thrilled to be part of your journey! Learning an instrument isn’t always easy (trust us, we’ve been there), but it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do.
Stick with it. Even when your scales sound more “cat stuck in a washing machine” than “future chart-topper,” keep going. Every practice session brings you closer to your goals, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time.
May your riffs be smooth, your beats steady, and your neighbours patient.
