Why your donation matters
As with all charities, we have several costs to bear. Before you decide to donate, you might like to know what they are:
SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES
Our Music Man travels across the country giving assemblies to demonstrate all of the instruments that pupils can choose to learn.
PUPIL PREMIUM DISCOUNT
Pupils eligible for Pupil Premium funding benefit from discounted lessons. This cost is covered by MfSF.
ADMINISTRATION
We provide full admin support to schools and tutors, and we have a great Head Office team that manage all aspects of the scheme.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES
We run school bands and ensembles and concerts at no extra cost. Pupils have the opportunity to attend music fundays and take exams too.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
One-off Donations
£25.50 would cover the cost of 3 lessons for a child however we welcome any contribution be it higher or lower - every donation helps!
Online Shopping
Give as you Live is an organisation that partners with online retailers to generate free 'cashback style' donations for charities via online shopping.
Legacy Donations
Around 15% of all voluntary income received by British charities comes from legacies. We have been humbled to receive bequests from people in their wills.
Thank you, MfSF!
Thank you for the lessons Thomas had through MfSF - they have given him a solid foundation in music and I hope, a desire to continue learning for years to come. Without their pupil premium reductions we definately wouldn't have been able to afford this privately!"

A Necessity
“Learning to play a classical instrument from a young age allowed me the skill to read music and play any genre. As a direct result of achieving my grades, I was able to combat stage fright early, happily play in bands both inside and outside of school as a teenager and travel around the world as a performing musician.”

Donations help Music for Schools continue to provide free music assemblies in primary schools. I love getting the children excited about music and all the benefits it brings them. It's the most enjoyable part of my day.
