Music session on Acorn Ward at Whipps Cross
We continued to support the Nonesuch Orchestra, which gives orchestral concerts in schools. We also funded a two day school visit by Rhythmically Speaking to Churchfields Primary School, and will support the organisation again next year. We started to support the London Suzuki group’s violin teaching programme, support that we want to continue.

£3,200 was awarded to the London Borough of Redbridge, to continue the brass teaching programme at Mossford Green Primary School, which was started with money from the Trust in 2003. Cornets, tenor horns, baritones and trombones have been purchased and weekly lessons provided to about a dozen children. The project has been very successful, with all the children performing in their class musical lessons, and one pupil going on to join the Redbridge junior wind band.
