MusicBox Children’s Charity – Western Chapter

Post author By clubsweek

About us:
MusicBox Children’s Charity – Western Chapter is a student club affiliated with MusicBox Children’s Charity. We aim to bring music education to vulnerable children in the London area. An education in music is incredibly beneficial for young children – ”we know that it helps develop interpersonal skills, goal-setting skills, motivation and resiliency and it provides them with a hobby that they can enjoy. We believe that vulnerable children should be granted the same opportunities for growth and development that a music education provides that are available to their peers. We run one-on-one instrument lessons for school-aged children and group music activities for younger children at our community partner.If you’re interested in our mission and want to know more information or how to get involved, please email [email protected]
