We particularly aim our sessions at children and young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to access high quality music tuition, through cost or social exclusion. We charge just £1 for our core sessions, and £2 for a group or individual instrument lesson on piano, violin, guitar and drums. By giving to us, you help open up the world of playing and performing to over 100 children and young people who - through lack of money or social exclusion - might not otherwise get a chance to experience the pleasure and personal growth that is possible through music - and, as if that’s not enough, there’s now evidence that learning music helps with wider schoolwork, too. And, of course, musical skills stay with them for life.
