IA COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 In the turbulence of the current economic and social climate, the important link between the development of a child's creativity and their ability to achieve at the highest level could easily be overlooked. Yet there is considerable and compelling evidence that music-making has a profound and proven ability to develop a child's academic and language skills. as well as improve social confidence and emotional wellbeing. Evidence from recent Ipre-Lockdownl studie5, drawing on nationally available data, show5 that those young people playing an instrument achieved greater progress and better academic OLJtcomes than those who did not, but with costs rising for families and schools, music education - and the opportunity it affords- is fast becoming privilege, not a right. At Music Masters we are determined to change this. Throughout 2021-22 we have honed our vision, thannelling it into a clear plan for 2022-26 which focuses on bringinE the advantage of music to children who most need it. We will do this through addressing at their root the key issues that could prevent a child from thriving through music, focusing on increasing equitable access to musical learning, outstanding teaching, and progression pathways for all children. To date, through our Flagship Schools Programme we have embedded music into the lives and hearts of over 3,000 children, many of whom have continued to play and enjoy mu51t long after their primary school lives. This is demonstrated by our new Graduate Ambassadors who, having first stepped into a MLJSIC Masters lesson at the age of four, now continue their musical journeys as adults. Ana, Aseye, Betania, Harry and Emily are in great company. By becoming Ambassadors they join an inspirational team of role models that includes Sheku Kanneh-mason, Nicola Benedetti and Randall Goosby. As well as continuing to grow as thoughtfLJI musicians they will be living representatives of our hope for a future where all children have access to an excellent music education. As diverse and unique as these inspiring young musicians are, they all agree on one thing- the importance of outstanding music teachers in helping them to develop their personal and musical potential. This year we have celebrated the achievements of the third cohort of teachers on our year-long postgraduate training programme, 'Musicians of Change,, a name which reflects the aspiration and ability of these highly trained teachers to drive a transformation of music education in communities across the UK. With Musicians of Change graduates now teaching over 10,000 children between them, this transformation is well underway. As you read this report I hope that you feel inspired by the significant achievements of our beneficiaries and team, but also that you feel as confident as I do of Music Masters, position as an organisation the organisation- to achieve long-term change in music edLJcation on a national scale. I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to our inspirational Founder Director, Victoria Robey OBE, and my fellow trustees, for thei r dedicated support and guidance. Docu8b3Mdty.

The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORPI "AccoLJnting and Reporting by Charities" IFRS 1021 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. The financi31 statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK 2nd Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2017 as amended by Bulletin l. Objectives and artivitie5 Our objectives To advance education for the public benefit through the promotion, support and encouragement of the art of music in all its forms and in particular the promotion, encouragement and appreciation of the violin. Secondly to promote any other charitable object for the public benefit. In planning the activities of the charity, the trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance for fee charging charities. As mentioned above, the trustees believe that the activities of the charity in the year confirm its ability to provide current and on-going benefit to the public. Our activities OLJr work is focussed on long-term interventions that create systemic change, particularly focusing on addressing at their root the key issues which could prevent a child from thriving through music. Through all that we do, we aim to transform children's initial musical sparks into flame5 which burn brightly throughout their lives, wherever they go, and whatever they do. We do this through.. Worklng wlth Schools: Our work begins with state primary schools, because working at a school level is the clearest way to reach children of all backgrounds. Through our strong school partnerships and highly trained teaching team we learn and model what high quality, inclusive and inspiring music education can look like. Through our Flagship Schoo15 Programme we place ourselves at the heart of state primary schools in underserved communities of Lambeth, Westminster and Islington our Flagship Schools to deliver inspiring instrumental and musicianship teaching, creative learning and performance opportunitie5 for all children. We work with a collective of inspiring artists and a range of Creative Partners to enrich the children's experiences. We listen to and learn from the children, their families and school staff with whom we work to understand the important and multi-faceted role that music can play to improve lives and tommunities. Training Teachers: Alongside offering bespoke training and development for individuals and organisations, our pioneering year-long Musiciansof Change IPGCEil programme focusses on excellence in inclusive group music teaching, having been inspired by the impact of our outstanding, highly trained teaching team on London school communities since 2008. Our thriving academic partnership with Birmingham City University provides participants with the latest developments in research and practice, powerfully combined with access to and engagement with Music Masters, Flagship Schools Programme and teaching team to support their learning.

IA COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 Icontinuedl Creatlng an open music sector: At Music Masters, we advocate powerfully for the rights of children and young people from all backgrounds to have a creative voice, and drive forgreater inclusion, diversity and equality in the music sector for the future5 of young musicians. We actively comrllission and create new music for and with our young mLJsicians to represent the diversity of modern Britain, from our Many Voices series which showcases the creative voices and approaches of a diverse range of renowned composers and creators, to the compositions written by our pupils, for our pupi15. We work with a collective of inspiring Ambassadors whose diversity brings something unique and brilliant to our school communities, alongside their united belief in the importance of music in young people's lives. But we don't think that getting inclusion right is easy. Through I'M IN Ilnclusive Music Index), our organisational equity, diversity and inclusion self-assessment tool, we have so far supported over 100 organisations working in and with music to better understand their areas of inequity, resulting in action that is already creating a more diverse, inclusive and inspirational music sector. Objectives for FY 2021-22 The main objectives of the Charity are summarised in our Strategic Plan.. 'Excellence for Everyone'12018-20221, and cascade from the following aims.. Establishing our network of Flagship School Iformerly referred to as Partner Schools) as the leading example of excellent, sustainable, integrated music education for state maintained primary schools Creating the UK'S first national teacher training programme for group instrumental tuition in primary schools Building a cohort of leading artists as both advocates for music education and mentors for student musicians Advocating for practical, systemic change within the industry for Diversity & Inclusion and for music education Establishing new, long-term, predictable income streams for Music Masters During 2021-22 we delivered a full programme of activity to support these aims, alongside which we undertook a full strategic review with our Board and beneficiaries ahead of launching our strategy for 2022- 26. Throughout the year we reviewed and reflerted upon the significantjourney we have travelled since 2018, and the impact we have made, which we hope is clear from the following section of this report. Strate icRe ort Achlevements and Perfomiance Flagship (formerly Partner) Schools (strategic aim l} We had a fantastic year in our Flagship Schools- renamed from 'Partner Schools, to reflect their commitment to placing music at their heart and to openly sharing the many resultinE benefits.

REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 Icontinuedl During the year, as Covid restrictions relaxed, we were able to welcome families and the community back through our Flagship Schools, gates to enjoy hearing and seeing the outcomes of the children's hard work. At the end of the year we celebrated the huge achievements of our Year 6 leavers, including a number of music scholarships achieved to schools including Alleyn's and Kingsdale Foundation, and impressive ABRSM & Trinitv exam results, including Pathways student Eric Park achieving a near perfect 981100 for his Grade 6 Trinity exam. Eric and fellow 2021-22 Pathways graduate Anna-Lea Gonzales Duba look forward to taking up their places atjunior conservatoire in September 2022, with Eric heading to Primary Academy at the Royal Academy of Music, and Anne-Lea starting at the Junior Royal College of Music. In 2021-22 our focus on diversifying repertoire continued, including through Many Voices lsee strategic aim 41 which saw a fantastic cohort of composers and creatives co-create new works with our children in Year 4 and 5. Alongside Many Voices, stLJdents have been writing their own works to be learnt and performed by their peers. This has led to the creation of composer sound walls across our schools - walls with small integrated speakers whose buttons can be pressed to play £hildren'5 self-composed pieces, whose framed scores are displayed alongside. Our young composers, photos are displayed on a world map alongside photos of diverse Composers from across the world whose music the children have listened to or learnt. This has had such an immensely beneficial impact on the pupils, self-esteem. They tell us that they are unbelievably proud to hear their peers learn and play their creations, and have a greater sense of ownership over their music making. While bringing inspirational leaders and musicians into our schools will always be important to us, this year we increased the number of teacher-led creative projects, including our Year 3 Creative Composition Workshops and our Year 2 Community Concerts. By doing this moving forward, and by promoting opportunities for our teachers to participate in a number of workshops and seminars on our Musicians of Change IPGCEil programme (see strategic aim 21, we aim to encourage the development of creative skills in our classrooms and workforce simultaneously. Our children enjoyed inspiring visits and workshops with our Artist Ambassadors (see strategic aim 31 as well as working with our Creative Partners, including participating in the London Philharmonic Orchestra's Bright Sparks workshops and performance at the Royal Festival Hall. We ran our annual Summer Orchestra Course in partnership with Southbank Sinfonia and In Harmony Lambeth, bringing together around 50 students aged 8-15 to work on a diverse programme of ensemble repertoire, and culminating in a fantastic showcase concert at St John's Smith Square. This was the first opportunity for many of our young musicians to play together in a large orchestra setting since before the pandemic, and was truly a celebration of the power of music as a collective force. This year, we were proud to develop an exciting new cultural partnership with the National Gallery, inspired by the ability of the arts and creativity to enhance lives. The children on our accelerated tuition programme, Pathways, developed their own musical responses to paintings over a six-month period, culminating in showcase performance at the National Gallery in June 2022 for friends, family and supporters. In August, the National Gallery featured these new works as part of their free festival of art, Summer on the Square, in Trafalgar Square as a sound installation for the publicto enjoy. We look forward to developing this partnership into the future. Our teaching team has also been busy expanding their skillsets. In addition to termly training days, our teachers had the opportunity to attend a broad range of additional sessions and workshops including on Wellbeing, Creative Leadership, Colourstrings, Race and Music Education, Diverse Programming (with Music Masters

Spotlight on: Tameside Music Servlce We welcomed three members of Tameside Music Service's teaching and management team onto Musicians of Change in 2021-22, with a view to supporting their career development and leadership aspirations, whilst ensuring high quality teaching within a Service that serves a catchment of over 6000 children and young people. We asked Tameside's Head of Service, Kate Campbell Green, to provide her reflections on the programme. She said.. he PGCEI presents u unique opportunity to undertoke o recognised quulificotion with a programme of study specific to music teaching. The affordability and content of the course make it accessible to a wide range of music educators and they fJre able to contirjue in their role whilst completing the course.

REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 Icontinuedl External Examiner feedback: The course and content is well-constructed and coherent, introducing students to important pedagogical ideas and scholarship in a logical and developmental manner across the year. Opportunities to hear from well- known 5peaker5/teachers and recognised expert5 in their field are provided acr055 the year and are clearly valued by the students. Importantly, too module four provides a summative opportunity for students to reflect on their learning over the year to the impact on their practice, pedagogy and understanding of research and theory. The course attracts students from a wide area and the team have considered how virtual teaching can be integrated effectively for some of the teaching, to deliver a programme that supports students as they continue to work and experience professional practice across the country. The course is fulfilling a real need for instrumental teachers to develop their expertise and understanding of pedagogy and educational issues relevant to instrumental teaching, rather than as a general classroom music teacher., Lookin to the future As part of a period of testing around the further development of its work with educators, in September 2021 Music Masters began piloting four different types of 'placements' where music educators on Musicians of Change IPGCEil were either matched up with a new school to deliver group teaching with children in areas where there was little access to music education or student teachers already working with a county / borough Music Service or Music Education Hub were evaluated in partnership with their employer and Music Masters team to understand the impact of their training through Musicions of Change IPGCEil on their existing teaching in schools. We worked closely with the host schools and music educators across the year to understand the programme's impact on these placements, both in terms of the school's improved access to high quality music teaching and the student teacherfs ability to apply and implement their learning from the programme, developing in confidence and leadership skills. We observed that the music educators already working in schools, for example through Tameside Music Service, were noticeably able to improve relationship5 Wlth the schools and teams with whom they worked, as well as the quality of their work, resulting in signifintlY stronger outcomes for their pupils. Through the theoretical knowledge and improved confidence gained whilst on the course, these school contracts were not only retained but two further contracts with schools in the local area were secured for 2022-23. They have since as a team been able to lead on new projects such as a school staff CPD programme which will enhance their offer to schools next year. However, for music educators on the course who were placed in completely new teaching settings with little musical activity it was more challenging to embed themselves within the school's culture to fully implement and apply their learning from the course within the time frame of the placement. Whilst there were valuable learning experiences gained from these placements for the music educators involved, the scope for impart on the schools was much more limited. It was important therefore to develop a model where music educators could feel motivated and incentlV15ed to build on existing relationships within their 5choo15 to further enhance the school's music offer and in particular to include children who may otherwise not have been able to access the offer. In doing so we believe can sustainably ensure that Musicians of Change IPGCEil directly impacts children's music education and promotes a stronger culture of music within that school over the long term. As a result of our learning from this pilot, alongside further research and focus groups conducted with music educators and school leadership teams across the UK during 2021-22, our approach to placements shifted from placing students on the course into new settings to building partnerships which support the existing music education infrastructure.

This, together with supporting staff at Theatre Clwyd Music Service in Flintshire to undertake Musicians of Change, has helped us to forge new links Wlth the emerging National Music Hub in Wales. set up following the release of Wales, National Plan for MLJSIC in spring 2022.

It was an incredible honour to work closely with our new Robey Artist, Jordan Bak, a sensational violist, advocate and educator. The Robey Artist role was created in partnership with YCAT Ithe Young Classical Artist Trust) and launched in September 2018 with Randall Goosby as its inaugural three-year post-holder, who helped us shape the role into an integral part of our programme delivery in particular becoming integral to the experiences of our Pathways Students. Jordan spent time in all of our schools in November 2021, performing to over 1,000 children in assemblies and working with groups to explore children's musical responses to imagery. This inspired the design of the project that launched our aforementioned growing partnership with the National Gallery, as part of which Jordan worked closely with Pathways students on developing and refining their new compositions. He said.. 'It is always a joy and an honour to work with the young pupils of the Pathways programme - they have such brilliant and creative minds, working together to create. curate and explore music in so many different ways. And to see more young students from my demographic appreciating music and culture is a pathway itself too, of inclusion and breaking barriers. They are a living reminder that Pathways isn't just a small avenue in their musical education, but a crucial aspect of their lives as human beings and within their communities. We continue our strong relationship with former Robey Artist Randall Goosby who, as well as delivering creative workshops at jubilee Primary School, led a workshop with our teachers and Musician5 of Change IPGCEII students and graduates to explore programming and diversifying repertoire in the classroom. He also performed to the Jubilee school community with the help of the school's Year 2 violinists, and our Graduate Ambassador Betania Johnny in a very special evening concert for the community. Randall said of his two-day visit. I had a blast working with everyone, and was so inspired by the energy and dedication of everyone involved, and I can't wait to see what we come up with for next timel" Advocating for Change (strategic aim 41 At the start of the year, we worked with Music Masters, eldest Inow adult) graduates, asking them how we could best support young artists and together advocate for the change we want to see in music education and the sector. Together, we created the brand-new role of Graduate Ambassador, to which we appointed five committed young change-makers. All five Graduate Ambassadors are currently pursuing variou5 musical career pathways through studying at the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music, artively performing in orchestras including National Youth Orchestra and Chinekel and at festivals and venues including Verbier, BBC Proms, Royal Festival Hall and Wigmore Hall. To us, they embody music's potential to support and inspire from a child's earliest moments,. to create pathways that may otherwise have been unreachable. The determination of these remarkable musicians to give children the experiences and opportunities that they themselves received, and their passion for challenging the status quo and driving sectoral change to ensure this can happen makes them outstanding role models for an entire nation of young people.

Drawing on participant feedback from the trial and with support from The Cranfield Trust we designed a two-route approach which ensures best usage of the tool. The Independent Route provides free access to the tool and its written gLJidance for any organisation, and the Supported Route provides additional support from a Diversity & Inclusion consultant to help organisations turn discussion into action. I'M IN has now supported over 100 music organisations across the UK to better understand and act on their own areas of inequity. Music Masters is determined to improve the availability of inspiring, diverse learner repertoire and as such was delighted to receive Arts Council England funding to support the development of Many Voices.- Ensemble in 2022. This is the second in our Many Voices series of new works, following the release of Many VoAces- 10 pieces for violin and piano- in 2019. The second collection focuses on flexible ensemble works to celebrate the joy of coming together to play with others following the isolating effert of the pandemic.

Establishing New, Long-term Income Streams {strategic aim 51 We continue to seek ways to diversify ourfundraised income as well as developing sustainable income streams from our charitable activity through contributions from our Flagship Schools and parents / carers. However, we are always mindful when considering these income streams not to create financial barriers to pa rticipation from the under-resourced communities we seek to serve, particularly as costs of living rise. With a particular focus on the financial means of our parents / carers this is something we plan to review in 2022-23. We created two new income streams for Music Masters in 2022-23, including.. through Musicians of Change, whose employers or 'sponsors' were for the first time asked to support participating music educators working for their organisations through a contribution of up to £1,500, which is the subsidised cost of a place on the programme. through I'M IN lour Inclusive Music Index), whose 'Supported Route, is currently offered for modest fee of £750 which mainly covers the cost of the expertise and participation of the Diversity and Inclusion consultants- our 'l'M IN Advisors'_ who work with us on this programme.

Reserves Music Masters, reserves policy is as follows.. The policy of the trustees is to maintain a level of reserves that will provide a stable base from which to fund the charity's future activity whilst ensuring that excessive funds are not accumulated. Specifically, the trustees have set a target range for general reserves of £230,000 to £250,00012021.. £230,000-£250,0001, which the trustees estimate is sufficient to meet the charity's legal commitments should it be required to shut down due to lack of available funds. The range is also reviewed in the context of the following year's running costs. General reserves at 31 August 2022 totalled.. £245,560 12021.. £245,560). Having considered the financial stability of the organi5ation, the trustees consider the level of reserves to be adequate. Designated Funds The trustees recognise that the effectiveness of the Schools Programme is heavily reliant on uninterrupted music tuition and therefore view it to be prudent to maintain a designated fund the Learning Continuity Fund- to mitigate any fluctuations in fLJnding. At 31 August 2022 the balance of this fund was £113,72912021 £119,050) and it is expected that this fund will be spent in the year to 31 August 2023. In the year to 31 August 2021 the trustees resolved to create a new designated fund - the Fixed Asset Fund which represents the value of reserves invested in both tangible and intangible fixed assets and programme related investments (musical instruments). These assets are required for the use of the charity and its beneficiaries and these reserves are therefore not available for other purposes. At 31" August 2022 the balance of this fund was £211,00312021.. £183,383), and this reflects the net book value of tangible and intangible assets as well as the value of the Social Investments the musical instruments used by our students every day to learn and practice. Funds held as Custodian Trustee on behalf of others There are no such funds held12021.. nill. Permanent endowment invested on 3 total return basis There are no such investments12021: nill. li

This description forms part of our auditor's report. Extent to whlch the audlt was consldered capable of detectlng Irregularltles, Includlng fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included.. Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance,. Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charitable company through enquiry and inspection- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transartions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non- compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgeryi intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal Control. 19
