Every child should have music in their lives. It shouldn’t be for the privileged few. We’re seeking to remove the geographical and financial barriers to a high-quality music education so that every child can experience the great many educational, health and well-being benefits it can bring.

Beneficiaries
Situation
Research shows that music plays an important role in child development. It can improve social skills, co-ordination, self-confidence, listening skills, creativity, and physical skills. Our aim is to address inequality of access to music and bring the many benefits of music to children from a young age.
Solution
Our schools programme helps remove the barriers for primary schools to deliver a wide-ranging music curriculum. We are currently working in over 20 of the region’s primary schools, many of which have high levels of disadvantage and Special Educational Needs. We aim, over the next three years, to allow over 10,000 young people to receive a music lesson each week and to have the opportunity to join a choir, to come along to a music holiday club, or take up an instrument.
