"What a cute silly story. I love seeing the mouse just laying in some hay in his cosy barn watching TV. And the thought that he needs to invite the Queen for tea. My kids enjoyed all the rhyming. It's nice being from the U.S. and being able to share books like this with my kids to show them things around London. My son saw King’s Cross Station and said, “That's the one from Harry Potter!”...

30th Anniversary Celebration
October 2024
What a joyful and fitting celebration of a mighty 30 years!
We enjoyed performances by Maizen, Saumya and Hany with Adam reading out his own poem. This was particularly poignant given that Adam was non-verbal when he joined Music House for Children. There were a few tears! I am proud of my colleagues and our collective energy and commitment to nurturing children’s musical journeys. Please have a look at our latest post to hear a little of my speech.
I am delighted to confirm Music House for Children as a charitable beneficiary of Windrush 1027, a visionary brand being launched early next year. This huge honour means that we will expand our work and resources to reach many more communities.
