Community For Those In Need

We provide opportunities for children and adults to become part of a community. This is more important than ever during tough times.

Change a Child’s Life

We offer free instrument loans for our communities to take home, learn, practice and perform on for the duration of their learning.

“A wonderful opportunity you are giving to adults. Congratulations on this amazing project.”

“I just wanted to send you a message to say how amazing M and my dad found Tiger Tiger – when I called my dad after work he was absolutely buzzing about it and it sounded incredible!! Both M and the other service user who went got so much from it. I had a tear in my eye when my dad was talking to me about it all and how much M communicated non verbally. I really hope it is successful for you all because it is such a wonderful opportunity you are giving to adults like M. I really hope there is one session in a half term so that I can go with M!!! Congratulations on this amazing project. Best wishes, E’“

“I Just wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the opportunities the music service gave to me”

“More than anything this is just a thank you and a testimony to the music service and the staggering work you all do. I’ve just finished my first year of freelancing after graduating from the RCM and have been incredibly lucky to have performed with most of London’s major orchestras, including London Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Opera House, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia and I’ve also been incredibly lucky to have played Principal Horn with English National Opera and London Chamber Orchestra. The further I progress in my career, the more and more I get back to thinking that I just wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the opportunities that the music service gave to me.”

why we do what we do...

At SFE, we know that music has a profound impact on children. Because we witness it every day.

Music has the power to improve mental health, to inspire and encourage, and to boost confidence and general happiness.

We have a vision to reach as many children across Birmingham, sending them on a journey through music, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances; music for all. We want to raise awareness and important funds to be able to reach more people, enabling change across Birmingham, through music.
