<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2020328/open_sms">Send us a text</a>The East London School of Music (ELSOM) was formed to provide an affordable, stimulating musical training platform of the highest standard to music students of all levels and all ages. We cater for ages from 5 years all the way to adult. Our relaxing and supportive environment allow Students and Tutors to flourish and work together to develop and enhance everyone’s musical abilities, including composition and performance. We aim to ensure that children, young people and adults are given the opportunity to be creative whilst learning the proper way to play an instrument, become a singer and/or become composers in their own right. At ELSOM we ensure that all students receive high quality classical music tuition. Our school is a non-profit musical organization, therefore you will not be paying huge amounts of money, we keep our fees low and affordable for anyone wanting to learn a musical skill. Our primary aim is to give students quality musical training that is both affordable and enjoyable. Myself and my team at the East London School of Music are on a mission to raise funds so that we can put musical instruments in the hands of disadvantaged children, young people and senior adults. Most of our students are from the black and ethnic minorities who cannot otherwise afford classical music training and we just want to make classical music more accessible for them. Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not, and I'm on a mission to address that. Our main challenge at the moment is funding. I am looking to connect with people to who can help us, and I am so glad to have connected with Mark and ACN – without this connection, I would not have had the opportunity to connect with you guys 😊   We were involved in a really exciting project from Jan-May 2024 – Community Orchestra Project involving 53 BAME children and young people aged 8-19 years. The Arts Council England sponsored a 17-week orchestra training programme at our site which involved 6 teachers. The end result – 2 concert performances at our school site and at the Royal College of Music, May 2024.   Here are a few short performances from the Royal College of Music Concert:. It was an absolutely amazing experience for the children and youth! Enjoy 😃   Isaac and Jalon, Shostakovich Violin duet https://youtu.be/skMrTElBIM4?si=O8HuspG_mUo-o9lO   “Sailing By”- Community Orchestra Project, ELSOM, supported by the HACS Philharmonic Orchestra https://youtu.be/UTCODrzFPvk?si=35Iawa5-UPmdba3M   God Who Spoke In The Beginning https://youtu.be/rIYLggZ6mx0?si=WOf2ASs71pPr9mca   You Are The Deliverer https://youtu.be/xePJYoZjxDU?si=xcyiXfkTDw37HdFp   After their experience at the Royal College of Music, the players turned their eyes towards the Royal Albert Hall. They asked me “will we get to perform at the Royal Albert Hall one day”? I answer, yes you will, nothing is impossible!” I would love to make this opportunity happen for them with help from professionals in the industry, like yourself 😊   Please feel free to subscribe to our YouTube Channel. <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2020328/support">Support the show</a>
