TESTIMONIALS
” I am proud of Yama, she has been trying
very hard. Practising at home after school
and putting in a lot of effort. She loves
playing the violin. This will have a huge
impact on her in the future.
Mariama, parent of Yama, Year 3 violinist

” LMM gave Itabaza the gift of exploring
his natural love of music. As a result, he
was the youngest leader of his secondary
school orchestra in Year 7 at just 11 and
continues to lead it, three years later.
He is now experimenting with jazz and
composing and performing scores for
the short films he makes. He continues to
study music through the Guildhall’s Centre
for Young Musicians and will be taking a
GCSE in music starting next year.

” I love being able to perform and express I
my emotions in a performance, and I am
proud of being able to play to such an
extent that I was accepted into the Royal
College of Music’s Junior Department for
September 2014. Music has given me selfesteem
and the confidence to express my
feelings and opinions. It has also helped
me to excel in my academic studies, and
it has developed my social skills. LMM has
taught me so much about being a musician
since I started learning to play the violin
at the age of 5. I am here now because of
what LMM has done, and as an alumna,
LMM continues to give me support.
” would like to use music in my life to be
able to have fun and express how I would
feel whether I am sad or happy also I want
to give other people some enjoyment
and just enjoying playing music with other
people. In LMM it’s been great to be able
to play with people of all different ages
and musical experiences and also being
able to enjoy it together.
