Raised by Music · South London
Your child’s musical journey — fully supported.
Broadening access to high quality music education. Nurturing young musicians, every school day.
Free instrumental tuition. A sense of belonging. The joy of making music.
Room to grow
More than lessons.
A place to belong.
Raising children in a nourishing and immersive musical environment supported by positive relationships develops creativity, problem solving and analytical skills, physical coordination, discipline, academic achievement and – most importantly, a sense of belonging, fulfilment and FUN!
Raised by Music is a small community foundation based in South London. Our mission is to nurture the highest standards of musicianship in young people, with a particular focus on broadening access to high quality music education and increasing participation in classical music from under-represented backgrounds.

How it works
Music becomes part
of every school day.
- Year 2–6
- Growing together
- Every school day
- Specialist teaching
- Free of charge
- Lessons and practice
Raised by Music is a novel concept – scholars do not just have weekly 1:1 lessons on their instruments, but attend a session with specialist instrumental tutors every single day of the school year, starting in Year 2 and continuing until the end of Year 6. Instrumental lessons and practice sessions are completely free of charge and take place during the school day, making sure there are no barriers for children to accessing tuition.
We expect families to support scholars’ practice at weekends and in school holidays, and we organise sessions for parents/ carers to equip them with the skills needed to support practice at home.

Congratulations to our scholars who have had a busy summer, achieving fantastic results in their grade 2 and grade 3 exams in July and playing with South London Youth Orchestras on their summer orchestra course. We are so excited to see you all back in September and hear all the rest of your musical news!
We have lots of exciting plans for this Autumn term -watch this space for dates of performances with Water City Music, festive busking events, fundraisers, more exam successes and our annual Christmas concert.
