music for all
Reclaiming music participation for everyone, everywhere

Music is loved, but becoming the least taught subject in our secondary schools. After age 13, most students - especially boys - lose access to structured music participation. Regular music practice boosts memory, creativty, and collaboration whilst building emotional and cultural resilience. We need those skills more than ever. Let's bring our voices together.
