Music House Education as a community interest company (C.I.C.) relies entirely on funding to secure lessons and projects for the benefit of those in real need. This includes children from challenging circumstances, with language delay or additional needs.
We hugely value support from our benefactors, and without whom we would not have been able to provide important intervention and developmental work. All funding is project or research based.

Fundraising
Online Little Birdsong Concerts for Families
Fast Track (Hammersmith & Fulham) funded online Little Birdsong Concerts to provide playful mini-gigs for families during the pandemic. Isolation creates significant barriers to early development including vocalising, engaging with other babies and spontaneous movement. Our live concerts normally held at Bush Hall continued to bring young families together online and provided respite to the COVID madness. These were performed by our wonderful musicians - many who were also in isolation abroad, and across the UK.
Musical Podcast
Thanks to the TNL Community Fund, Music House Education was able to create Once Upon a Song, to support interactive storytelling with very young children and their loved adults. Our playful podcast turned rhymes into mini creative musical adventures, weaving sounds and instrumental play around each one. Invited families read stories with their little ones. Significantly this podcast aimed to show how music is woven into our way of communicating using dynamics, pitch and other musical terms. This is available freely on our YouTube channel.
Providing Children with Life Skills
Awards for All funding from the Big Lottery Fund enabled weekly multi-arts sessions for children with additional needs and language delay engaged with structured music sessions to interact with their peers, learn about different genres, and to develop the confidence to create miniature musical stories to support early communication.
