What makes working with Music for Life special in schools?
Arranging Lessons in School
A network of more than 100 self-employed freelance tutors work with us providing tuition on a broad range of instruments. We take care of all aspects of administration, communication, quality, contractual obligations and timetabling.
Whole Class Projects
Our whole class courses aim to give insight as to what it is like to learn a musical instrument and to inspire and support students and parents who then wish to continue to learn an instrument.
Workshops in Schools
Typical workshops include singing, samba or jazz. Tutors working with Music for Life have delivered workshops with Glyndebourne Opera, Manchester Jazz Festival and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
Positively Giving Back
Not only is Music for Life self-sufficient, but we contribute resources back into our local community’s music education.
Music for Life was established over 28 years ago to support schools who wished to offer their pupils opportunities to learn a musical instrument but who struggled with the highly complex administration involved in doing this. This task was made much more complicated once charges to parents were introduced for these lessons. Trying to deal with this took a huge amount of school staff time and there was a considerable financial risk to schools – many found that the cost of visiting teachers could be much more than the amount of fees collected from parents.
