===Learning Programme===

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic has been organising events aimed towards schools and the community since the 1940s, when Sargent introduced concerts for schools. These concerts still exist today, with the organisation hosting a series of 13 Schools’ Concerts every year which are attended by around 18000 young people from across the region.<ref>{{cite web |title=Music education for all ages |url=https://www.liverpoolphil.com/about-us/music-education-for-all-ages/ |website=Liverpool Philharmonic |access-date=9 August 2022}}</ref>

In 2003 the society a project known as ''Music for Life'' was launched to work with people in the most deprived areas in the city, working with primary schools and their communities.  The project includes providing instruments and supporting a children's orchestra and a community choir.

Participants take part in ensembles and music lessons which aim to increase their confidence, wellbeing and skills, and offer opportunities to travel, learn, perform and collaborate with professional musicians, international artists and other young people.<ref>{{cite web |title=In Harmony Liverpool |url=https://www.liverpoolphil.com/about-us/in-harmony-liverpool/ |website=Liverpool Philharmonic |access-date=9 August 2022}}</ref>
