Congratulations to The Rhythm Studio Foundation who were recently announced as winners of the Excellence in Primary/Early Years (Music & Drama) Award at the Music & Drama Awards.

This is well-deserved recognition for our Charity of the Year!

Over the last 5 years, 1200 local state-primary children have benefitted from The Rhythm Studio Foundation’s Rock & Pop Primary Schools programme.

“... the judging panel was searching for outstanding practice in primary or early years music provision that can be held up as a model on a national scale. The judges thought that the winner had carried out really inspiring work with hard to reach participants. A project with heart which is removing barriers to access”
Alexander Armstrong, Music & Drama Education Awards Presenter

“As a relatively small charity, we always aim to punch above our weight and so it’s particularly rewarding to receive such a high-profile national award for the work we’re doing in the community… Our local primary schools Rock & Pop workshops create such a buzz for the children involved and we love working with them.”
Diahann Brown, Fundraiser & Project Manager, The Rhythm Studio Foundation

IE are pleased to announce our Charity of the Year for 2021 is The Rhythm Studio Foundation (RSF).

RSF was founded in 2011 with the goal of transforming the lives of young people through music, and at IE we agree that this is needed now more than ever.

RSF funds scholarships for young musicians, and does amazing work with schools and community groups, providing economically underprivileged and socially disadvantaged young people with opportunities to access music-making with all its accompanying benefits.

RSF’s fabulous hospital programme takes music-making into paediatric wards making music and provides respite activities for siblings and carers. RSF are currently providing virtual content for hospital patients and one-to-one lessons for young people with long-term medical problems who are shielding as a result of the pandemic.
