Beneficiaries
Situation
53% of children (in Nottingham City) give up learning music after the first year, which means that they lose out on the many benefits of making music with others, including improved literacy, numeracy, confidence & motivation. Nottingham is the 11th most deprived district in the country and many families cannot afford high quality music provision as programmes are not affordable and often not designed with the needs of city pupils, who need more support as they may not always get it from home.
Solution
This camp is for pupils who have just finished their 1st year of music education. It inspires them by 2 exciting days of musical learning in a new environment. The activities encourage pupils to join afterschool 'Area Bands' which run all year long & help children become better musicians, improving their learning, confidence & engagement with school. To make the camp accessible to everyone, schools are charged just £25 per pupil with further financial support available.
