Music & Drama Education Award Winners!
We feel so honoured to have received the Excellence in Primary/Early Years (Music & Drama) Award. As a relatively small charity, we always aim to punch above our weight and so it’s particularly rewarding to receive such a high-profile national award for the work we’re doing in the community. It’s always great to receive positive feedback from our local school partners at the end of a project, but to have our programme further validated by winning a 2021 Music & Drama Education Award is absolutely brilliant.

Our local primary schools Rock & Pop workshops create such a buzz for the children involved and we love working with them. It’s a huge collaborative effort and so a big thanks must go to all our teachers at The Rhythm Studio, local school staff, John Lyon’s Charity amongst other supporters and of course the fantastic 9-11 year olds that stream into our studios every week to make music.

I’ve had a scholarship with The Rhythm Studio Foundation for 5 years since the age of 12
and play piano, guitar and sing. I’ve played piano for 5 years with Maja who is still my teacher. Outside of RS, I attend ‘Future Talent’ which invites me to workshop at The Royal Academy of Music to work with other musicians. I also have singing lesson through my school, where I work through my musical theatre singing grades. I prefer solo performances.
Much of what I listen is are starting to reflect my songwriting positively and these genres are bedroom pop, contemporary R&B/soul R&B and Alternative indie. Especially since lockdown, I've been focusing on my song writing and honing my craft, which I personally believe I've improved. In school we are doing a protest unit, so I've been studying protest songs and writing my own. This was very similar to my last project which was to write two songs from different genres. My favourite artists are Rex Orange Country, Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Clario, Joji, Beabadoobee and Girl in Red. The artists that inspire me are Her, Daniel Ceaser and Billie Ellish. At the moment my favourite song is
“Slow Dancing in the Dark” by Joji and I'm listening to Joji and Beabadoobee.
This scholarship has changed my life. The Rhythm Studio basically introduced me to music and without that I would not have gotten into BRIT, or on the path that I am now. I will always be grateful to RS for that, they have helped me grow as a person and a musician.
My dream is to be a singer/songwriter therefore in the future I want to tour around different cities performing the music I write and collaborating with my favourite artist.
My next step in music is to start making demos and find the right producer, so that I can record an EP. I also plan to go to university and further my education within music.
