Welcome to Project 4Tune!

At Project 4Tune, our ethos is simple: No young person should suffer disparagement in the arts due to their social background or personal financial disadvantages. We wish to offer young people in the deprived Sandwell area of the West Midlands, who otherwise could not afford such an opportunity, the chance to learn a musical instrument and study music and art under the guidance of qualified, professional and accomplished musicians and artists. As is becoming increasingly apparent through psychological research, a well-rounded artistic education has the opportunity to not only enhance a person’s artistic skill, but presents an experience whereby young people can drastically enhance their cognitive function for all manner of academic and life skills. In turn, this helps to increase their self-confidence, boost their sense of well-being and instil a sense of personal accomplishment and pride. We would therefore expect those who come to us to not only benefit within the confines of our musical facilities, but to take these benefits into other areas of their lives (school, home, social, personal mental wellbeing etc.).

Using the spacious facilities at Wesley Methodist Church in West Bromwich (polled by the BBC to be the second-most deprived town in England), we want to bring people together through music and art, but we need your help!

In order to purchase the equipment needed to operate our events, we are looking to raise around £10,000. This would put us in a position where we can start running local events immediately, with the long-term goal of changing lives and expanding the scope of what we are able to offer to young people in the local and surrounding areas as our project develops.
