Giving Back

Our Charity Work

Charitable giving has been central to Morningside School of Music since we were founded in 1999. We do our utmost to help others in any way we can, and very rarely turn down a request for assistance.

We support good causes through financial donations, equipment gifts, music lesson vouchers, live performances, charity concerts, free project work, staff-led charity challenges, and an annual November charity dinner.
