"For almost three decades, a small community music school in south London has kept a sense of musical passion alive for local families, using toys and puppets to help teach children from the age of five months to 18."
"What got me through foster care was music... and the relationship to music, as time went on, continued to be a real force in my life."
"Osho said when he became a father he wanted to pass that stabilising force on to his own children. 'It was a case of finding ways to teach them something that I thought was going to be valuable.'"
"'It's just the most wonderful journey that you start with these little pupils, these little beings that have come in... and everything is possible.'"
The Music Boutique, a community music school in south London, has provided musical education for nearly three decades. Founded by James Osho, who drew inspiration from his own childhood in foster care, the school emphasizes imagination and storytelling in its teaching. Recently, it faced eviction due to financial difficulties exacerbated by the pandemic. A last-minute loan cleared significant rent arrears, allowing the school to continue its mission of instilling a love for music in children from five months to 18 years old.
