There is so much musical talent waiting to be unlocked in schools around the country
But many children never get the chance to discover and develop their gift.
Your support will help us reach further, faster. We need to make high-quality musical training accessible to more than just the fortunate few. That means:
- funding initiatives in communities and schools
- supporting students from low-income households
- creating bridge programmes for students who, with extra support, may become the stars of the future
The Royal Academy of Music's Future: Widening Participation
Over 750 children from state schools and music hubs now take part in our widening participation activities, and recent participants have progressed to Junior Academy and undergraduate study at the Academy.
‘These schemes have a life-changing impact on the children and young people who take part. As well as developing their technical skills and knowledge, they build confidence and make long-lasting friendships.’
Claire Cooke, Head of Widening Participation
With your support, we can find and fund the musical talent of the future.
