Access to music for children in East Sussex
Music Lifeline in East Sussex enables children, principally from state schools, to experience music making, by offering instruments and giving financial support to music teachers and local music partners to deliver innovative programmes.
We have become increasingly concerned that music lessons and instruments have become unaffordable or inaccessible for so many children. With the cost of living crisis and cuts in funding, parents, nurseries and schools are having to make many difficult choices about their priorities. Activities we fund currently include singing assemblies, choirs, music workshops and loan of instruments. See Services to find out more.
Singing and Choirs
Music Lifeline recently sponsored nine state schools to take part in this year’s Hastings Music Festival which was held at The White Rock Theatre in Hastings.
Music Workshops
In partnership with a local music teacher and musician we are currently running a pilot music workshop at a state primary school in Hastings.
Early Years
Music has many benefits at any age. We are planning to run a range of funded musical activities in local nurseries and pre school groups.

“The children were so excited. Most of them have never been to the White Rock, or any theatre. What a memorable experience. Music is so important – we’d love to do it again please as the children got so much out of it, as did the parents”.

We need your help
Music Lifeline is a CIC based in Rye, East Sussex. We would love to hear from music teachers, state schools, early years educators and parents who have innovative ideas about ways to introduce music to children.
If you’d like to make a donation to fund a programme, instrument or workshop for children, see Donations for details or get in touch. Your support to help us introduce children, who would not otherwise be able to access music, to the benefits and joy of music is much appreciated.
There are many ways of reaching out and bringing music to children. Let’s work together to bring the joy of music to children of all ages.
