MfA Projects:

“A life with music is a life of diversity, joy and exploration. I would encourage
anyone to start playing and experience the benefits of music-making. Music for
All is encouraging all ages and genres which is a fantastic start to developing
musicianship in the UK.” Dame Evelyn Glennie

The charity is currently working on:

Free Taster Lessons for School age Children
The charity has developed a touring facility that enables us to take musical instruments and offer children free taster lessons on a variety of instruments. This has recently been successfully piloted in the London area and more activities will be rolled out.

Learn to Play Stand - A teaching stand that gives participants a free 20 minute introductory lesson to playing music with follow up material offering guidance and advice. Successfully launched at BBC Good Home Show with visits to Autumn Ideal Home Show & UK Shopping Centres.

Seen by 100,000 people, 800 music lessons over 10 days (Ideal Home Show)
Seen by 40,000 people,400 music lessons over 4 days (BBC Good Home Show)
A questionnaire completed by participants showed 95% people would take up an instrument, or
return if lapsed, as a direct result of their lesson on the stand.

Get Alive! - information campaign endorsed by Myleene Klass promoting the benefits of music-making offering advice on sourcing teachers and instruments
