Music plays a formative role in childhood: from soothing lullabies over catchy theme tunes to classic nursery rhymes, music accompanies us in every step of our early development. But did you know that as well as making us smile, engaging with music offers significant developmental benefits?

Learning an instrument or writing a song and lyrics can allow children to express themselves creatively while developing coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety, ultimately improving emotional regulation. That’s why we are advocating for more music-making opportunities for everyone! Sign the Music Makers’ Charter if you agree!—it only takes a minute 🧡 https://www.change.org/p/music-makers-charter

We all love to listen to music. A great song can trigger memories, change a mood, and activate many parts of your brain. But to truly unlock your mind's potential, we must move beyond passive listening to active music-making. One of our Trustees, Simon Saunders OBE, explores the impact of music making on health and overall wellbeing. Read it here:

It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since Westmount Music began as a small hobby website and a couple of gazebo pitches at local school fairs. A lot has changed since then - from those early days to now becoming one of the longest-established private music tuition venues in the area, supporting over 1000 students and maintaining a 100% pass rate across accredited music exams.

A huge thank you to our fantastic team of tutors for their professionalism, dedication and continued support - and to all our students, families and customers who’ve been part of the journey so far 🙏

Here’s to the next 15 years of learning, playing and creating together!
