Apollo Music Projects is a music education charity which transforms the lives of children through live classical music, through a series of interactive workshops and concerts. Children benefit from increased wellbeing, focus, and from developing their creative and emotional response to music.

Situation
Pupils in disadvantaged areas can suffer from lack of access to artistic experiences and education outside the curriculum, missing out benefits classical music can offer, such as improved focus and emotional wellbeing: “We serve over 1300 pupils […] with limited access to the wider cultural enrichment that London has to offer. It is hard to overestimate the value of enriching children’s experience in this way and opening up other worlds and cultures.” Stephen Hall, Executive Head Teacher
Solution
Our programme provides an accessible structure for the development of each child’s understanding of and emotional response to classical music: “I feel in heaven because I love classical music so badly” (Year 5 pupil), developing transferable skills of listening, focus and confidence in their own creativity: "For some children who struggle with their creativity, seeing their stories come to life with the improvisation of the quartet really took them on an adventure.” (Teacher, Orchard Primary)
