Universal Music UK Sound Foundation is an independent music education charity, established in 1997 to celebrate the centenary of EMI Records and now generously supported by Universal Music. The Foundation’s aim is to improve access to music education in the UK & Ireland.
The Foundation has helped over 10,000 schools, individual students and teachers improve their access to music through the purchase or upgrade of musical instruments and equipment.
The Foundation has created vital bursaries at eleven music colleges and organisations to assist music students in need of financial support. The organisations represent a high standard of traditional, classic and modern music study across the UK.
