Music: Changing Lives
Brass for Africa's mission is to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in Africa through brass music.
Brass for Africa's mission is to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in Africa through brass music.
Our experience has shown us that the opportunity to learn and play music has the most profound, empowering and life-affirming effect, particularly on the disadvantaged young people, orphans, slum dwellers, ex street children, refugees and vulnerable children that we support.
Brass for Africa works alongside local organisations to provide regular music education and performance opportunities to many children and young people.
We have also found music to be an extremely powerful tool to engage not only individuals but whole communities, and through brass music we are able to support so many life changing activities.
2017 saw the launch of our bespoke Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, where we begin to capture data on 8 key attributes associated with learning music. These are:
Self Confidence
Resilience
Leadership Skills
Problem Solving Skills
Grit and Perseverance
Concentration
Team Work Skills
Communication Skills
