“Music changes lives, helps children and young people develop socially, emotionally and intellectually and underpins our world class creative industries. Without access to music and the arts children in our schools, quite often those from disadvantaged backgrounds will be denied a well-rounded education. This is a tragedy.”
(James Rhodes. Don’t stop the Music. 2015)
“It is vital that a quality music education is available to all children and young people across the country. It must not become the preserve of those children whose families can afford to pay for tuition and ensemble opportunities.” Crazy Composers punches above its weight in its innovative Kapellmeister programme which trains vibrant, energetic music teachers who go out to enthuse and inspire other teachers, taking the work of Crazy Composers founder Robert Howes ever further into undernourished areas of the United Kingdom.
