“As children become hospitalised they could regress very quickly. They lose interest in their environment, socialising and become non-verbal. The Rhythm Studio Foundation has changed the lives of these patients. I have witnessed smiles, singing and playing along with the musical instruments, Family members are asking when “the music therapy ladies will be coming” in such enthusiastic voices, this lessening the anxiety that families are feeling.”
Sixth Form Update
The Rhythm Studio’s sixth formers have had a busy start to the year with masterclasses from broadcaster Alice Amel, electronic music artist Lisa Busby and Thomas Haimovici from Virgin EMI not to mention creative entrepreneurship with the Big Idea Challenge. This month we also started preparations for the Royal Albert Hall’s 150th Anniversary concert. We are honoured that our students have been invited to create an original piece of music alongside the world renowned composer David Arnold that will be performed at Royal Albert Hall on their 150th birthday in March 2021.
KCC and Morley College Merger
Morley College London merges with Kensington & Chelsea College
Kensington & Chelsea College, educational partner and landlord to The Rhythm Studio, has completed a merger with Morley College London. This represents some extremely positive news for the college, The Rhythm Studio and our local community as a whole. One of the brightest consequences of the merger is that the future of the Wornington Road building is now secure. During the next few months there will be little change to day-to-day life at the college, however, the future promises a great deal of investment to refurbish and modernise the campus and enhance the curriculum offer. Meanwhile, we are excited at the prospect of further developing our partnership work with Morley College London and continuing to call the Wornington Road building our home. Going forward, we will continue to provide updates to ensure that The Rhythm Studio community are fully informed of developments in the coming months.
