We’re getting close - just £1281 to go to reach our target of £6k! BUT...

WE HAVE TO REACH OUR TARGET TO UNLOCK THESE PLEDGES!!!

We reckon if everyone who’s child is in @SheffMusicHub groups pledged just £2 we’d do it! #32DaysLeft

Exciting! - I've just been given permission by our ace Head to turn all of the corridors in school into a "musical assault course" (I need to come up with a less violent name) starting with easy stimuli in EY corridor and moving all the way to pentatonics & semiquavers in Y6!

[Friends of Sheffield Music Hub @smhfriendsandv1]

Apparently the @runforall #Sheffield10k just wasn’t challenging enough for some of our supporters -they are insisting on running whilst playing Samba! https://t.co/QHe2pUYuwn please share and support!

I am super happy we made this happen! It's been a great few days with our dedicated, talented alumni #YouthFolk
