100-Day Practice Challenge: Empowering Young Musicians in South Africa

We are fundraising to support Suzuki music students in South Africa, providing financial aid to children who cannot afford instruments, travel to concerts, and other participation costs. Every pound raised goes directly to the South Africa Suzuki Association, helping them build a strong musical future for their students.

The funds will ensure that talented children from disadvantaged backgrounds can continue their musical journey, covering the cost of instruments, lessons, and travel to concerts. Your donations will help build the Suzuki community in South Africa, enabling students to participate in enriching performances and workshops.

Join us in this 100-day practice challenge where students worldwide will commit to daily practice, raising money for this important cause.

By practicing daily, students in the UK, South Africa, and beyond will help make music education accessible to everyone. Support us by donating and cheering on these young musicians as they reach their practice milestones.
