Situation
With education funding cuts, music in state schools is often the first department to suffer, and with dwindling opportunity to engage with others, the most deprived kids are falling into crime out of desperation, need, poverty and loneliness. This isn’t simply about getting children to learn music, it’s about getting them off the streets, away from crime, and giving them the chance to be passionate, focussed and proud.
Solution
We give grants to eligible state schools and work closely with them to rebuild music education there. We believe that music is vital for young people. Not only does it introduce them to a universal language and global method of communication, it also gives kids a way to channel their confidence, skill and creativity away from crime, setting them up to succeed in the UK’s music industry – worth over £4bn a year.
