Hounslow Music Service is a charity that provides high-quality instrumental and vocal tuition to school-aged children across the London Borough of Hounslow. Our range of programmes supports the development of musical talent, both in and out of the school environment. We offer instrumental and vocal lessons in and out of school; whole class instrumental teaching at primary level; a structured, progressive programme of bands, orchestras and choirs; and inspirational projects with partners such as the Philharmonia Orchestra. We also manage a large stock of instruments which are available to for our students and schools to hire, and we open our music library to support school-based bands and orchestras. The HMS Bursary is a new fund to support music education for young people in Hounslow. It has been set up to raise funds to support more children to learn to play an instrument or to sing. The more money we raise, the more children we can support. £20 could buy a set of books to help a child prepare for an examination. £38 could pay for instrument hire for a term. £80 could pay for a term’s membership of all bands and orchestras for two siblings. £230 would fund 1 term at Saturday Music Academy, offering a bespoke programme including choir, theory, instrumental lessons and membership of an unlimited number of bands and orchestras. Every penny donated will reach a child, so your gift, no matter how small, will make a difference.
