Musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. We're here to change this!
Who we are
We support talented young musicians from low-income families throughout the UK, helping them to overcome financial and social barriers in their musical journeys.
How we help
Offering individual support to young people, our programmes sustain young people’s musical progress and help teachers identify and nurture talent wherever they find it.
