Every child should have the chance to make music. It’s not just a pleasure, but a major boost to their wellbeing and confidence. Many children in Bath face financial and social challenges that stop them accessing music tuition. This is where the Orchestra Of Everything Foundation makes a real difference.
We’re driven by inclusion, inspiration and excellence:
• Inclusion: Removing barriers so every child can access music.
• Inspiration: Using music to spark confidence and creativity.
• Excellence: Delivering high-quality programmes tailored to each school community’s needs.
Teachers in the schools where we work have reported that students gain confidence, resilience, self-discipline and emotional regulation through music-making. For children with ADHD or who face emotional difficulties, music has become a stabilising and empowering force.
We’re opening the door for hundreds of children to experience music for themselves – by listening, playing and sharing. This is how the next generation of artists is formed, by giving young people a chance to discover music-making. And with all the benefits that music brings, we’re also helping these children to believe in themselves and become resilient, confident individuals who’ll contribute to their communities for years to come.
