Our project seeks to address the disadvantages experienced by children from deprived areas of London and the need for high-quality educational and artistic experiences that will develop, engage and inspire them. After such long periods in lockdown children in our partner schools have shown an even greater need for the sense of community and inspiration that music can provide, and for the sense of calm and focus children have described in feedback on our workshops.

Our work achieves lasting, life-changing benefits by improving cultural access for children who do not normally have the opportunity to enjoy high-quality artistic and educational experiences. We use music to reach children in a pioneering and original way, speaking directly to them and engaging them fully in the learning process. Music can inspire children who struggle with traditional learning methods, and our programme helps and encourages children of all abilities and backgrounds.
