Help us keep music alive!

In order to keep providing high-quality, inspiring musical experiences for our students, we are always in need of financial support from organisations and individuals.  Donations may fund bursaries for those from low-income families, pay for specially commissioned musical arrangements, or enable us to invite top-class visiting professional musicians to deliver concerts and tutoring.

There are also other ways you can help us:

• introductions to useful contacts: sponsors, musicians, teachers, businesses etc
• benefits given in kind: photography, filming, printing flyers etc
• volunteering

Parent Volunteers are always very welcome. You can help at our workshops by:

• making refreshments at break times
• supervising children at play times
• baking cakes and biscuits to feed hungry children!
• playing alongside our students (string players and piano accompanists especially welcome!)

"Art offers lessons and tools for us to improve ourselves, and like in an orchestra, fosters an environment where all can express their voices, share their experiences, and in the spirit of learning, compassion and respect, create a more harmonious world together."                                      
Gustavo Dudamel, Foreword from 'Tuning Into Change - A Youth Manifesto For The Arts'
