Music Matters in Oswestry and the Borderlands.
Charity providing instruments, instrument and singing lessons free to children in Oswestry area State schools.
We are very grateful to @OswestryTC for the generous grant given to us this week.
Every penny goes towards teaching local children to learn a musical instrument who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity.
The numbers of children grow each year, so this will be an enormous help.
Our very grateful thanks to Oswestry Cambrian Rotary for their generous and very welcome donation. Every penny we receive is used to teach local children to learn musical instruments.
We are so pleased to welcome Weston Rhyn Primary School as a partner. 14 children at the school have started learning guitar, flute and clarinet.
We are now providing free instruments and instrument and singing lessons to almost 100 children in local State primary schools.
Vaughan is an absolute inspiration.
Every school needs to have a Vaughan to inspire the staff and children. To show them the vital importance of music in education and their lives.
Thank you everyone who came to the concert yesterday. Fantastic performances from Chris Symons, Sylvie Reverdy and Samantha Lewis.
We raised over ยฃ1,000 from the very generous audience, which will go a long way to providing lessons for the children.
Thank you so much!

With so many children wanting to learn, we need more instruments!
If you have a musical instrument you no longer play, please donate it so that a local child learn.
They deserve the opportunity.

This week we were delighted to add brass teaching for the first time. Places were offered to 6 trumpet and cornet players at The Meadows School. In addition, we started teaching 6 new violinists and 3 more clarinettists at Bryn Offa School.

It was a great day at the Oswestry Fun Day in Cae Glas Park, in aid of MusicMOB. A big thanks to @OswestryTC for all the help and the use of the park, and to Oswestry Mayor @OswestryDrummer for opening the event and judging the children's fancy dress competition.
@DavidSillitoBBC Our small local charity has been set up precisely for this reason, in our little corner of the Welsh Marches.
We teach 66 children so far in local State primary schools since we started in October. The impact on the children and the schools is already unsurprisingly enormous!
In 2012 we met the children of the Raploch as they prepared for a concert with Gustavo Dudamel. They were part of a programme to see whether learning music could make a difference. 10 years on, weโve been back to see how theyโve got on. https://t.co/D7k72Acn0F
Good news, seeing that Wales is introducing music education and learning an instrument in schools, for all children.
Now it's England's turn.

Our 'Launch Concert' will finally take place in June, after delays due to the pandemic.
Help us to continue to provide free instrument and singing lessons to children in local State schools.
We current provide for 63, to go up to 80 next term.

I done it #derby10k . Still intact. Beat my best average time per km by 1 minute. Team Myres raised ยฃ2500 for @SandsUK and I raised additional ยฃ200 for @MusicMOB1
We are now teaching instrument and singing lessons to 64 children in local schools.
Thank you to everyone who supports us and recognises the enormous benefits of music in a child's personal development and enrichment.

Today, a couple of pupils asked if they could perform at the end of a lesson. The gasps and murmurs of adoration from their peers as they performed were magic. The spontaneous clapping at the end was even more so. The collective happiness as we all left was even more so again.
