Millers Music has hosted a giveaway of second-hand pianos to schools
Local schools, including Queen Edith Primary School, The Netherhall School and Sawston Village College, have reserved a free, reconditioned piano through Miller Music’s Piano Equals initiative. Through the scheme, piano owners can donate used, good-quality instruments that would otherwise go to waste.
“Every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of music education,” says Simon Pollard of Millers Music. “Yet, with schools and charities facing budget constraints, access to music is declining: GCSE music entries have declined 36% since 2010. With initiatives such as ours, we breathe new life into unwanted pianos, restoring and donating them to organisations that need them most.”
