Casio and the EMI Music Sound Foundation have joined forces to launch a UK wide initiative fronted by classical sensation Myleene Klass, named the ‘Pianos for Schools’ initiative. The scheme will see 50 pianos given to children in schools throughout the UK and aims to ensure children with budding musical talent are given the best opportunity to get them playing, develop their skills and become the superstars of tomorrow.
Myleene Klass says;
“We know that in order to flourish, children need all round education in subjects from sport and maths to music and this research highlights this. Obviously my passion is music and I would love to see more support in schools in this area. Schemes like this can give children who may not otherwise get the chance to engage with music in school the opportunity to and this can only enhance their all round learning experience and build a good bank of talent we can rely on in the future.”
Tim Gould from Casio says
“Investment must be made to ensure we give children every opportunity to succeed in school and support should be given across all subjects to allow children to develop their all round educational experience and ultimately results. By partnering with EMI Music Sound Foundation on the Pianos for School initiative we’re aiming to give children who otherwise may not have the opportunity to engage in music access to cutting-edge instruments and encourage and all round educational experience.”
