We are excited to announce our latest grant recipient, Sheffield Music School.
Sheffield Music School is a charity that runs on a Saturday morning and in school holidays. They have a number of classes that cater for various genres including jazz, classical, pop, rock and rap. They are dedicated to providing free provisions for those who have a passion for music and would otherwise be unable to attend.
The grant will go directly to a number of girls passionate about making music. From song writing, singing lessons to production the grant is an exciting opportunity to increase one to one time with the students. They have already seen their mentees go from having small lyrical ideas to featuring on fully produced songs. Without support from organisations like the Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation they would not be able to help the students who would otherwise not be able to engage in music tuition.
“Being able to work with our young women to help excel their musical talents is so exciting. From watching their singing lessons with Gina Walters to working on production and creating beats, the classes are so creative and important. Without funds like this, many young people are left behind in an expensive and elitist industry which requires huge amounts of money to access one to one training. Our mentors and mentees are telling honest stories through their music and we are so excited for what the future brings.”

Sheffield Music School tries to engage with the community and its local musicians from working with the Ensemble 360 to bands like Reverend and the Makers, Before Breakfast, Oh Papa. They have also worked with Franz Von and Tenn who lead their rap and production sessions. They are dedicated to being an inclusive organisation and look forward to working with our mentees over the next year.
