More About the Harmony Music Foundation and Its Cause

Harmony Music Foundation

“Empowering children with music” is the first thing you see as you visit the Harmony Music Foundation’s website and that’s what this Non-Profit organisation is all about. The foundation is all about helping to prevent music education from getting lost among the disadvantaged youth of Cape Town.

How did the Foundation Start?

Founded by Sebastian Guile in 2014, the Harmony Music Foundation came to life. Sebastian decided to combine his skills as a professional music teacher to start this foundation after being disabled for two years with a disorder called, Celiac Disease. During this time he realised his need to help those that are suffering.

What Does the Harmony Music Foundation Provide?

Music Classes

The foundation travels to various children’s homes, schools, and orphanages in Cape Town to give music classes to the younglings. Harmony Music has a primary focus on teaching the children how to play the Ukulele and Djembe.

The classes are hosted by Greg Bridges, a drum therapist, and Abraham van den Berg, a ukulele maestro.

Holiday Events

Happy Music Foundation collaborates with other NPO’s where they work together to help communities in need during holiday events.

First, they identify a struggling community, then they find a suitable venue to host the event and invite the youth of the disadvantaged area to attend.

At these events, the children are taught to play instruments like Ukulele, Poi, Djembe, Gymnastics, and hula-hooping.

Teacher Training

With the help of the foundation, individuals with musical talent are able to train via the NPO’s various teaching methods, to use their talent for good.

Their Mission

According to the foundation, music education can be very beneficial to children as it can help improve their listening skills, self-esteem, and also provide them with a way to relieve stress.

The foundation has one goal and that is providing children access to music education and allowing them to have an expressive outlet when they need it most.
