And we are BACK! 🎹🥁🎸

We hope everyone had a fantastic Easter break. It’s been a delightfully chaotic first day back in the MTFM office—our desks are buried under new applications! 😅

The response for the Summer terms has been incredible, but if you’ve been thinking about starting your child on a musical journey, don’t worry—it’s not too late to join us. We still have a few remaining slots across our schools.

⭐ What an incredible afternoon of music! A massive congratulations to all students who performed at our first Charity Spring Showcase on Saturday.

We are so proud of every single student who took to the stage at the beautiful St Martin’s Church. Taking that brave step into a full venue is a huge milestone, and the courage, talent, and passion they all displayed was truly inspiring.

A special shout-out to our guest judges from the Kent and Medway Young Musicians Trust for helping us with the difficult task of selecting our three "Star Performers"—Kabir, Sarah, and Jacob.

Thank you so much for the donations on the door. We are thrilled to be splitting them between St Martin’s and the KAMYMT, which will directly support young musicians across Kent.

Thank you once again to the parents, guardians, and families who continue to support these young people on their musical journeys. We are already looking forward to the next one!

Making the most of the Easter Break! 🐣

We might be halfway through the holidays, but the team at Make Time for Music is busy getting everything ready for a "not-to-be-missed" Summer term!

Here is what’s happening on the Director’s desk this week:

✨ Welcoming New Faces: A huge shout-out to all the new families joining us at Aylesham, The Beacon, and The Churchill. We can’t wait to get your musical journeys started!

📊 Better Feedback: We’ve been busy sending out our brand-new Student Progress Reports. We know how much parents value knowing how their children are doing, so our new "snapshot" feedback is designed to keep you in the loop more often!

🎶 CONCERT ALERT: Final rehearsals and prep are underway for our Charity Showcase Concert this Saturday, 11th April! It’s going to be a brilliant afternoon of music.

We hope you’re all having a relaxing break and enjoying the sunshine. See you next week!

Another Morning, Another Musical Adventure! 🎸🥁

We had a blast this morning at The Churchill School! There is nothing quite like the look on a student's face when they hear a live drum kit or an electric guitar in the school hall for the first time.

The energy in the room was fantastic, and we loved meeting so many budding future rockstars and pianists.

Rocking the Hall at Aylesham Primary! 🎸🎹🥁

What a fantastic morning! We’ve just finished a high-energy demo assembly at Aylesham Primary School, and the atmosphere was electric.

It’s always a privilege to introduce the next generation of musicians to the Guitar, Piano, and Drums, but today had a very special highlight...

We ended the session with an impromptu "Make Time for Music" jam of the Aylesham School Song, featuring some surprise guest appearances from two members of the school staff! (They absolutely smashed it, by the way!) 🎤🎹🥁🔥

It’s moments like these that show what music is all about—confidence, community, and a lot of fun.

Want your child to join the noise?

Raising the Bar for Music in Kent! 🎼"

It’s been a busy week of 'MusicPlus' projects across our schools. We’re currently working closely with Being Musical on our Quality Assurance visits to ensure we are delivering the very best experience for our students.

We believe that every lesson—whether it's the first time picking up a ukulele or a Grade 5 piano session—should be inspiring, high-quality, and, most importantly, fun!

A huge well done to all our tutors out in the field this week. Keep up the amazing work! 🌟

Huge shoutout to the Totally Awesome TAs out there! 🎸

Had a brilliant session with our guitar project at Selsted Church of England Primary School today, and I honestly couldn't have done it without the incredible support in the room. From organizing folders and printing worksheets to getting those all-important label stickers on the guitars—it’s the "behind the scenes" magic that makes the music happen.

Teaching music to 15 kids at once is a wild (but rewarding!) challenge, and having a TA who has your back makes all the difference. Thank you for helping us bring music to the masses! 🎶🙌
