One of the beauties of literature and the arts is their inherent illogicality. The act of interpreting a poetic metaphor (or, better yet, creating that metaphor) requires the coordination of disparate types of thinking, a mental crossreferencing that cannot be quantified in a clinical prediction rule or a population attributable risk. Ofri1 (p. 207)We have spent the past 2 years evaluating Sistema Scotland’s ‘Big Noise’programme, an arts-based social intervention targeted at socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods in Scotland. Drawing inspiration from Venezuela’s decades-old ‘El Sistema’movement, Sistema Scotland’s first programme was established in Raploch, Stirling in 2008, with their second intervention site at Govanhill, Glasgow established in 2013, and a third opening in Torry, Aberdeen in 2015. While each of these intervention sites is unique, both in terms of the neighbourhoods themselves and in the detail of programme delivery, the aims are the same: to transform children’s lives through music.
