Get in touch if you would like to support a young person by donating/ funding a melodica - they don't cost much but can provide the first opportunity to be able to play with a national orchestra!

[Orchestras for All @Orchestras4All]

Do you have a #melodica to spare? 🎹

We’re looking for 13 of these wonderful wind #instruments to support National #Orchestra for All!

If you’d like to #donate or fund a melodica, please contact NOFA Programme Manager, Paula, at [email protected]. Thank you! 🎶
