Story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVyrPiOpbnc

OK Music School was set up 10 years ago by The Otakar Kraus Music Trust to give children and young people with additional needs the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument and perform in public concerts. 76 pupils are currently attending OK Music School where they receive 1-1 specialised teaching with qualified music therapists and music teachers.

Pupils gain confidence and self-esteem and feel proud performing in our 2 annual concerts, which bring joy to the community. They gain communication and social interaction skills and make friends. 18 pupils have even passed a total of 35 music exams. Please help us to continue OK Music School and ensure more children and young people can benefit.

100% of pupils said OK Music School made them feel happy. 90% said it made them feel proud.

"OK Music School has given me the courage to stand in front of a crowd and speak or sing. Music shows more than you can ever think"

"I love seeing all my friends and playing music with them is the best part"

"OK Music School has changed M's life. He has a great relationship with his teacher and he was so proud to perform in the Christmas concert"
