There are a lot of studies done so far that demonstrate the importance of music education and its effect on children from an early age. Music helps children with brain development, enhances memory and coordination skills, builds self-confidence and makes learning other subjects easier. Indeed, children who play instruments have a higher IQ and a greater ability in distinguishing speech and learning new languages than children who never took music lessons. Furthermore, music helps children develop time management skills, become more patient and have more empathy for others. Music also gives them a chance to express themselves freely and creatively.

Through her immense efforts and support of charities and organization she is involved in, many students in the public sector across the United Kingdom have the chance to not only learn musical instruments but also acquire skills that help them become better adjusted in our current diverse world.
