My life has changed so much since taking part in MEI; doing music has changed me as a person. It takes so much effort to play the violin so I have become more hard-working.
Hussein, Islington Music Centre

“I really loved taking part in MEI’s Music Makers project. It was a great opportunity to meet new people, try a range of different instruments and create music based on our own ideas.
We were able to perform five original pieces at our gigs and it was amazing to see how much we were able to achieve in a short amount of time. This experience has helped me to gain confidence as a performer and allowed me to develop my skills as a musician.”

I'd never played the trombone before and when they let me play it, I was very happy! It means a lot to me. It's really special to be able to hire
my trombone. The music activities have helped me a lot – in school and in life in general. The teachers are very kind and very helpful.

“I would highly recommend joining MEI’s after-school opportunities, there are lots of really big opportunities for people who are enthusiastic about music and I think that there is such a wide range of music genres that they can engage in and learn from.”
