This thriving project was founded in 2003 by violinist Leanne Dolman who identified a need for recreational facilities and extra-mural activities for children in the historically disadvantaged communities of Hangberg Harbour Village and Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay, near Cape Town, South Africa.
Daily classes cover violin, cello, double bass, marimba, drums, singing, dance, and life skill guidance. We currently provide formal string instrument training for 80 children and are extremely proud of our 100% pass rate. All practical and theory examinations are conducted through the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music in the United Kingdom, the world’s top authority on musical assessment.
