Music for All and Stentor support Eastbrook Primary School

The charity was approached by the school that had a number of young pupils expressing an interest in learning the violin. The school and children, unfortunately, did not have the funds to make this happen. Music for All and Stentor Music were able to donate some instruments to make this happen!

New Ambassador announced for Music for All!

Rock and Jazz drumming legend, Bill Bruford has just become an Ambassador for Music for All. An amazing career that includes Yes, King Crimson and Genesis and as well as a hugely successful period under his own name.

Bill said “Music has been a wonderful part of my life and I’m proud to support Music for All in all their efforts to make more musicians!”

April Tour of London Primary Schools

Music for All visited 4 primary schools in the Croydon area and give free “taster” lessons to 300 children and performances to over 500. The children were given the chance to try guitars, drums, violins, flutes, brass and keyboards. Many had never even held these instruments before and we were delighted to be able to inspire a whole new group of children to want to learn to play. The tour was kindly supported by Korg, Stentor and Music Force Distribution. More tours to follow!

‘I was very impressed with the level of organisation and care from your charity. All of the children had a fantastic experience, many of them playing instruments they had never touched before, let alone play! Your understanding of all instruments allowed the children to play with confidence, being unafraid to make mistakes, something that we try to instill in the children. I really hope that we can experience the charity again as it was an excellent afternoon of experimental music which the children cannot stop talking about! Many Thanks’, Joanne Simmons
