“Thanks to the London Music Fund Emilia met similar children and wonderful teachers who showed her the freedom of music, the change that music can make in her life, the uniqueness of herself... She became more confident, she practiced more and with joy, she heard many talented musicians and saw many wonderful places. You have changed her future already and you are changing the future of the people around her as well and for that we would like to say a very huge THANK YOU!!!!”
