Making music changes lives. At Music for All we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn to play music.
At MfA nearly all of us are musicians, involved in the musical instrument industry or both. So we really know first-hand what an amazing effect making music can have on people’s lives. We see everybody from disadvantaged young people blossoming at school through to older adults discovering music, sometimes for the first time, much later on in life.
In our view, EVERYONE should have the opportunity to learn to play music. Sadly, many people are not fortunate enough to have access to musical instruments or ways to help them to learn and discover. This is where we come in.
Our charity has minimal overheads and administration costs. And, for every pound we raise, the musical instrument industry donates £2. This generous support spans across the music industry and includes our biggest supporter, the NAMM Foundation in the US.
We are also fortunate to have a wide range of musical celebrities endorsing our charity.
Please help us in any way you can so that we can continue to bring the magic and joy of making music to more and more people in the future.
Community Project Funding
