Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 2018 · 29 July 2018 ·

Our mission is to nurture the talent of every young musician in London, in particular from families who are unable to pay the costs of ongoing tuition. Our programmes increase diversity and promote inclusion, and offer opportunity to children who simply wouldn’t otherwise have access.

Story

It's that time of year...time to

Ride London!

Once again I'll be trekking (well, cycling) through the Surrey Hills on 29 July in order to raise money for our programmes. I am hugely proud of the work that we do at LMF, supporting children from low income families with the ongoing costs of tuition.

Music isn't just a "nice to have"...it should be an essential part of every child's education, and provides them with an immense sense of pride, achievement, improves communcation skills, is a comfort, a celebration, helps them to make friends, and above all, raises their aspirations of what they can achieve, in music and beyond.


At the London Music Fund our vision is simple; that every child who wishes to continue learning is given the opportunity to flourish, regardless of their background. I hope you agree.  I wanted to share a bit of a short speech on of our Scholars gave at an event recnetly which I think puts it perfectly:

"Thank you Mr. Mayor and the London Music Fund for helping children like me from a modest background, for allowing us to express ourselves in our  music and most of all, for letting us dream. Through my cello I've already experienced some fantastic things. I've been able to go record  at Abbey Road Studios with my orchestra. I'm about to continue my musical education at The Royal College of Music Junior Department and from there the future is bright, anything is possible. My next dream and goal is to hopefully be Britain's Young Musician of the Year one day and because of programs like this I am one step closer. Thank you."

THANK YOU!
