“Music should never be a privilege, it’s a powerful way to express ourselves, connect with others, and discover new possibilities regardless of our background. Everyone deserves access to the transformative experience of making music and the confidence it builds. Merit School of Music stands out because it makes this access real, creating a space where music truly belongs to everyone.”
