“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.”

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.
Make a Real Difference
As a small, local charity, any donation, large or small will make a huge difference to us and help us make an even greater impact to children in Birmingham.
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.
