A Thank-you to players of The People's Postcode Lottery

In August 2023 we received the news that we had been awarded a Magic Little Grant from the Postcode Places Trust to purchase a new electronic piano for the studio. This support, alongside an earlier grant from Aspirations Southend, has enabled us to extend our keys classes to support more children to learn piano, more effectively lead our vocal classes and it provides additional equipment for our bands and songwriters to use when they are practicing.

On the impact of the new equipment the students said:

It’s really accessible for people who play piano

Easier to hop on and share access for practice and songwriting through the dual-headphones function

We can create more interesting music with the different sounds

Since September 23 our community of young musicians has grown by 25%, plus we are supporting more children from low-income families to access a music education at a time when arts and in particular, music budgets are being slashed.

We want to extend a special thanks to the players of the People’s Postcode Lottery who make this funding possible.
