Do you have an unwanted or unused musical instrument?
That instrument could provide the beginnings of a life long musical journey.
Remember the days when all school music departments had a variety of instruments that students were free to use?
Well, sadly, many schools across the UK now no longer even have music departments, let alone instruments.
In an age where funding for the arts is suffering and music is gradually fading from the school curriculum, we are developing a schools workshop series to bring music education back to the musicians and audiences of the future.
A big factor in the success of this outreach endeavour is the sustainability of our efforts to inspire school children after the workshops take place.
Our plan is to supply schools with donated instruments so that the young people who partake in our workshops can keep the ball rolling when we leave.
(This is where you guys come in!)
We will gladly and gratefully accept all instruments in any condition.
These instruments will be refurbished and given a new life in the hands of an enthusiastic and inspired child. In addition to this, we will keep donors up to date with news on the schools that the instruments have been supplied to and on the progress of the children playing them.
This outreach programme will start in London in the 2017/2018 academic year.
