The Charity Run Music Centre Creating Opportunities for Children
Founded in Lewisham, this non-profit youth charity and lead organisation for the music education hub in Lewisham, has the mission of making young people across the community of Lewisham, and allowing music to be accessible to everyone in Lewisham rather than a select few. This place allows an expansive range of people into their environment (from 5 - 18) where they can learn a musical instrument of any style be it jazz to rock, or from classical to modern pop. Each person can learn music to their heart's content despite their lack of experience and kindles the child's passion which would of never been realised without this opportunity.
With equity, inclusion and diversity being their primary priority, the Lewisham community truly seeks people of varying backgrounds, be they poor or rich, to be able to find a sense of individual self-worth and collective identity. This ideology truly resembles the diverse environment in which the charity organisation is held where each person can achieve something that they did not expect that they were capable of, showing the fundamental value that this charity-run music school has on the young community. This is shown through each of the children's optimistic attitude as they travel to the music centre excited for the events that await them in the centre.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
