SUPPORT OUR WORK
The late David Morgan generously left funds in a trust to continue the music education of children in the Bromsgrove area but, with Government support for arts education continuing to be limited and demand for our grants increasing, we always welcome additional income to help sustain our cause.
Why support the David Morgan Music Trust?
Through allocating financial support, our charity makes music accessible to children and young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the joy of learning to sing or play an instrument.
We really appreciate the support. Our son has ADHD, and his music is the one thing that he really enjoys doing and is a stable in his routine.

I’m grateful my daughter has the opportunity to do something she enjoys which she would not have been able to do without the support of this grant. She looks forward to her lesson every week.

How can music help children?
My name is Alexa Young
Music is highly beneficial for children. It enhances brain activity during the critical stages of development, helping them develop their cognitive, physical, and emotional skills.
It’s widely reported that music can improve:
-
Cognitive skills such as memory, creativity, concentration and problem solving
-
Physical skills such as fine motor skills, breath management and coordination
-
Emotional skills such as how to express themselves, discipline, perseverance, a sense of achievement and self-esteem
Furthermore, playing in a group can encourage children to learn social skills, teamwork and communication.
All of the above can positively influence academic achievements and contribute to a child’s overall wellbeing while embedding skills that will be useful later in life.
The David Morgan Music Trust is proud to contribute to nurturing young local musical talent and preserving music for future generations.
