The impact of the pandemic on all our lives has highlighted the importance of community and the transformative power of music more than ever before. This is why we remain committed to providing our outstanding musical education completely free of charge.
It costs The Nucleo Project an average of £1,000 per child to deliver our free programme each year. Your generous support has meant that we were able to secure funding for 8 young musicians. This funding will provide each child with a free instrument, twice weekly instrumental music lessons, weekly musicianship classes and online ensemble rehearsals and performances for a full year.
Many of our children go on to achieve recognition from some of the leading national organisations: to date 12 have successfully auditioned for the National Children’s Orchestra and 10 have been accepted into the Royal College of Music Junior Programme. And we are incredibly proud to announce that one of our students achieved ABRSM Grade 8 Distinction, shortly after the Giving Tuesday campaign.
At Nucleo, music is also all about community. We are passionate about bringing children of different backgrounds together and uniting them in a common purpose. As one Nucleo parent put it:
The “Nucleo Project is an inspirational programme for both my children and we feel part of a big family at Nucleo. They have learned commitment and made long lasting friendships and they always feel supported by the teachers there. With the dedication and support there, they have managed to do so well with graded music exams too.”
With your continued support we feel optimistic about the future. Together, we are changing children’s lives through music.
