Giving back...
I created The Flute Academy for more than just the flute players who come here to learn. I know I can help others who need it, so every month I give a portion of the business's revenue to one of our favourite music education or music therapy organisations. (See below!)
So far, $10,655 (AUD) in donations have been made to charities! By being a student in The Flute Academy, you'll help us to reach $100,000.
In addition, scholarships to The Flute Academy are awarded to students facing economic or financial hardship.
Australian Childrens Music Foundation
"Music is the tool to improve life trajectories for young people and communities. Music unlocks children’s hidden potential and creates significant positive social impact and academic outcomes.
We provide long-term music programs in disadvantaged schools that don’t offer music education; in youth justice centres as a form of behavioural rehabilitation; and in children’s hospitals as music therapy for children undergoing care."
Symphony for Life Foundation
"Symphony for Life gives children the opportunity to play musical instruments and create music in highly engaging community-based programs.
Science shows us that learning to play an instrument helps overcome many obstacles children face in life – from improved attention, better reading skills through to heightened self-esteem and academic achievement.
We believe every child should have access to the benefits of playing an instrument regardless of socioeconomic or cultural backgrounds."
Musicians Making a Difference
"Many young people at MMAD suffer mentally, physically, socially & financially from traumatic experiences. For them, expressing their pain in lyrics, finding their voice by singing & escaping the world through music has helped them survive.
Our initiatives include community outreach, a music soup kitchen, street support group, creative youth mentoring camps & courses, free youth wellbeing platform, leadership development, educational content development, national youth campaign and social enterprises."
