We are thrilled to announce that Sounding Out, our groundbreaking programme providing free orchestral instrument lessons to children across all primary schools in Canterbury, has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Music Learning Initiative’ at the 2024 Classic FM Music Teacher of the Year Awards.
Sounding Out was developed to ensure that every child in Canterbury has the opportunity to explore the world of music, regardless of financial barriers. By offering free lessons in orchestral instruments, the programme aims to inspire a new generation of young musicians, foster creativity, and promote musical excellence throughout our community.
The recognition from the Classic FM Music Teacher of the Year Awards is a significant achievement for Sounding Out and reflects the dedication and passion of our teachers and partners involved in making music accessible to all.
