It is with sadness that we acknowledge the death of jazz musician, composer, producer and all round musical genius Quincy Jones. A true giant, his work has touched millions across 7 decades and left an indelible mark on the music world.

Learning a musical instrument isn't just about the notes; it's about fostering a lifetime of expression and connection! Take up lessons & you'll find your own way to express yourself. Join an ensemble & build lasting connections. #MusicIsForLife

It's amazing how our brains retain skills from long ago! Even after years, muscle memory can bring back those old tunes. Have you picked up an instrument or skill after a long break? Share your experience!

At @mertonmusic, we believe that music in schools isn’t just a subject…it’s the heartbeat that every child deserves, opening doors to a world of joy, creativity and connection.
Lovely to see the @BenedictAcad children finding it out for themselves. 🎶
