Twang Guitars and Twang Music Academy established a charitable foundation dedicated to making music education accessible to everyone.
They achieve this by partnering with four local schools and engaging with the wider community.
The foundation offers high-quality music workshops, one-to-one tuition, clubs, and summer schools, supporting children and young people who might otherwise miss out on music lessons.
In addition, they supply instruments to schools and students, organise a range of musical fundraising events, and actively encourage donations of instruments—many of which they can restore and refurbish.
