We create musical childhoods
Music is suffering in our schools:
-
Last year there were 40,000 less instrumental exams than in 2012
-
17% fall in GCSE music entries since 2015
-
40% decrease in A Level music since 2011
-
50% Primary schools 'narrowed' their curriculum to focus on SATS
"Music Education in England is in crisis. The Government must act quickly to ensure music does not become the preserve of a privileged few." -Music Education: State of The Nation report Incorporated Society of Musicians, February 2019
BUT the problem is bigger than exam statistics
-We see classrooms where 40% children have already given up playing an instrument.... by the time they are 8 years old!
- We see children starting music lessons who have no idea WHY they play an instrument
- We see schools with slashed budgets and limited resources struggling to keep music alive
- We see parents who are either:
-
not sure how their child should START with music
-
terrified their children will STOP playing music
We're here to help. . .
Our Mission:
Muzingo exists to make learning music fairer- to get MORE children starting music.
Muzingo exists to help more children discover WHY they learn music; increased confidence, a creative outlet, an opportunity to make new friends. We help develop a PASSION so children carry on playing.
WE DO ALL OF THESE THINGS... to create happy, healthy, magical, musical childhoods.
Which is why we do things like this. . .
