Music Treehouse receives funding grant from the London Freemasons

Thanks to a generous grant from London Freemasons through the Masonic Charitable Foundation, Music Treehouse is now expanding to offer three annual projects in SEND schools in Islington, Reading and Slough over the next three years.

Currently working with more than 60 children and young people between the ages of 2 and 25 who experience a wide spectrum of SEND, our Music Treehouse team of highly experienced and skilled specialist practitioners and musicians lead a range of group sessions as well as one-to-one music therapy at our Saturday Programme in Hackney.

The schools’ music making sessions will link into curricular themes and topics to develop communication, interaction, mobility, confidence and creative, musical, and social skills. To ensure continuity, CPD training will be delivered to teachers at the participating schools so that they feel confident and empowered to implement the Music Treehouse methodology in delivering further aspects of their curriculum.

Tertia Sefton-Green, CEO and Creative Director of HMDT Music said:

We’re incredibly grateful to London Freemasons for their generous grant which allows us to continue and expand Music Treehouse into schools. It’s clear from the number of requests and referrals we regularly receive that Music Treehouse is a much-valued and much-needed project to enrich and support the lives of young children with a range of special educational needs and disabilities, enabling them to develop their creative, social and communication skills through the power of music.
