Now in its second year, First Beats is an innovative music partnership between World Heart Beat and local primary schools in the Battersea area. The programme helps to break down barriers to participating in arts/music activity and performance and introduces young students to music on a weekly basis.
Instruments taster sessions include violin, singing, flute, clarinet, drums, songwriting and recording in our brand new studio. Our First Beat Music Programe students have also attended a concert by professional musicians hosted at our World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens concert hall. For many of the children who live in the residential estates in Queenstown ward, Nine Elms, it was their first experience of live music.
