The Music House for Children
Shepherds Bush
Main information
Type of service: Play and leisure
The Music House for Children started in a café 20 years ago. Stifled by formal teaching methods and the expectancy of examination results as an acceptable flag of achievement, The founder was inspired to find creative teachers to pursue the notion of music as part of the whole child, rather than just through instrumental learning. By nurturing musicality in newborns, children could evolve as independent, thinking, creative, artistic and above all, musical beings. Music should be taught through celebration, observation and debate. From this simple framework the founder and her team have encouraged many thousands of babies and children to experience, to learn, perform, compose and to enjoy music for music’s sake. Our many freelance music educators and performers have been in a collective cause to instill a life long love of music, and to nurture the whole creative person. By immersing music into all art forms via sociable engagement and consideration those babies 20 years on are now part of the country’s workforce, creative, talented and always thinking outside of the box. In 2014 we had a new studio, teaching rooms and performance hall. Families from near and far have the ongoing experience of musical learning and performance. Our not for profit status enables us to support families with limited financial means. With bespoke funding we create wondrous music projects for children who struggle with deafness, autism, speech and cognitive impairment.
