Raised by Music · South London

A love of music.
The chance to excel.

We help children grow as musicians with patient teaching, time to practise and plenty of encouragement. That support is part of every school day.

A musical childhood, fully supported

Learning together.
Growing in confidence.

From Year 2 to Year 6, scholars meet specialist instrumental tutors every school day. Lessons and practice sessions happen at school, completely free of charge.

Our tutors make room for questions, repetition and the small discoveries that build skill. Parents, carers and tutors are partners in each child’s musical journey.

Why daily matters

Expert teaching.
Supported practice.

Learning an instrument takes regular practice, thoughtful feedback and encouragement. We bring these together throughout the school week.

Our programme is daily—not a once-a-week lesson. Children learn with specialist instrumental tutors and take part in supported practice during the school day, free of charge.

We want high-quality music education to be part of everyday school life, so more young people can develop their skills, explore their ambitions and enjoy making music together.

Small steps, steady progress.
The pride of discovering what you can do.

The difference, in a week

Small steps.
Lasting progress.

Regular teaching and supported practice give children time to build skills, ask questions and enjoy their progress together.

A comparison of delivery models, not a claim about every other charity. RbM’s daily sessions include specialist instrumental teaching and supported practice; this does not mean five individual one-to-one lessons each week. We also work with families to support music-making at weekends and during holidays.

REPORTED IN BRIEF · NOT YET VERIFIED

What families told us

Parent survey rating

Reported parent survey: 100% rated ten out of tenA 100% ten-out-of-ten rating was reported for this design brief, but has not been verified. The survey question, date, response count and underlying results have not been supplied.100%rated 10 out of 10

A powerful family perspective. The design brief reports a 10/10 rating from every responding parent. This remains unverified.

Survey details are awaiting confirmation: the exact question, date, number of responses and response rate. Responding parents are not necessarily all parents.

Design-stage evidence panel: no source spreadsheet or survey report has been provided. These graphics show how the story could be presented, not validated research findings.

Understanding the daily model

Regular support.
Long-term possibilities.

Daily teaching means more regular time with tutors and more opportunities to practise during the school week.

The weekly-only example is not the Raised by Music programme. Our programme provides daily support during the school day. This illustrative comparison considers both the resources involved and the progress children make over time.

The proposed 2.5× cost and 10× impact figures are an illustrative scenario only. The impact measure and supporting evidence still need to be established.

Both charts use a 0–10× relative scale. The weekly-only example (not RbM) = 1× within each measure. Cost and impact are different units.

Evidence needed: comparable costs, a defined impact measure, a time period and a defensible comparison group. Daily frequency by itself does not demonstrate 10× impact.
