FOUNDERS COMMENTS
I founded Music Learning For Kids , after a promise I made to Dame Fanny Waterman the founder of the International Piano Competition and President of the Harroate International Music festival.
In one of her last meetings at Woodgarth in Roundhay Leeds before she died , where she showed me her two Steinway piano's proudly displayed in her front room. Dame Fanny wanted her legacy to
live on, and for music to be passed on to disadvantaged kids as she always believed it was only the privileged who learnt.
With Dame Fanny's book on my own grand piano being a daily reminder, finally in 2025 I founded Music Learning for Kids. Using only my personal wealth, my wish is to help as many disadvantaged kids
as i can learn music, and give back to the community in a way that supports learning and development.
I hope to be able to give disadvantaged kids who have had a hard and challenging upbringing or those who simply can't afford music lessons a purpose and a future goal by learning music!
We are in the process of applying for
Music For Kids to be a formal charity.
