We all know the joy that listening to and making music brings us. Making music is even more important for young people. Music tuition from a young age improves their literacy, problem-solving skills, confidence, resilience and creativity.
With education policy focusing on ‘non-creative’ subjects, many schools are struggling to resist the pressure to sacrifice music for other priorities. Having access to quality music tuition has become a “school lottery with a growing disparity between state and independent schools.
Not all parents can afford to pay for music lessons. Children with families earning £48,000 or more are twice as likely to learn an instrument as those whose parents earn £28,000 or less.
CKT believes no young person should be precluded from taking music lessons because either their parents cannot afford them or they are not inspired to take up lessons.
CKT is a registered charity staffed by volunteers and no overheads. 100% of funding goes to help or inspire children and young people to make music
At present we are only able to help a limited number of children in a limited number of schools most of which are supported by Surrey Arts . With your help we could sustain that help and
We help fund music lessons for financially disadvantaged children and young people in Surrey whatever their level of musical development and tries to level the music playing field by funding inspirational performances to encourage children to take up instruments in schools where historically take up has been low.
