Please Help Us Save The Incredible Music Boutique

My name is Roslyn and I am a piano tutor. I specialise in infant tuition from 4 months old. Yes, I know, unbelievable! However that is until you witnesss the magic that is ‘See, Learn, Do’, a Music Boutique trademark tutoring style specifically developed for the teeny tiny pupils that I am fortunate to tutor.
As far as I’m aware there is no other dedicated bespoke facility offering what we do in the way that we do it within our local area of south London.
I am so grateful to do what I love, and love what I do. I hope my pupils will look back on the bespoke tuition I have given them with joy and laughter and a love of music.
I have learned to be an interpreter of sound with how I communicate with all my pupils at the Music Boutique, be that using the piano itself, my voice the bells and other percussive instruments such as the mbira (thumb piano). I am constantly learning new approaches and refining what I have learned.
Our approach to pupil tuition of being bespoke and handcrafted for every child that steps into the world of the Music Boutique is so very needed given the current times we are in.
The Music Boutique is an incredible enchanted little music school based in the historical Lambeth Walk, incidentally made famous for the stage production of ‘Me And My Girl’ written by Mr Lupino, whom Lupino Court, opposite the Music Boutique, is named after.
On meeting and speaking with Osho little did I know of the circumstances that helped to mould the place that I am now a part of.
From a disturbingly abusive painful and brutally violent foster care experience, Osho has created a real refuge that encourages a nostalgic, musical and educational experience. Above all else, the Music Boutique Experience is about the love of family, togetherness and the development of emotional intelligence.
We will always be focussed on protecting, encouraging and nurturing the children that have the good fortune to be tutored at the Music Boutique.
Through the carefully curated visual displays of toys, books, comics and classic twentieth century design furniture, and ephemera of yesteryear. There are memories that are cross generational, some happy and some not so, but still a part of our current consciousness.
Through magical, musical memories, grandparents, parents and children alike are touched by what we call the Music Boutique Experience
This is a wonderful clip of Juno, one of my first Tiny Tinkle pupils and shows you can never be too young to have an appreciation for music:
My colleague Joshua is particularly incredible with our special needs pupils. His calm, attentive and innovative manner is a life line for pupils whom absolutely love their tuition with Joshua. We are also firmly of the belief that children with SEN should be able to lead as independently and a joyful a life as possible. Piano tuition, specifically due to its many areas of cerebral development can contribute hugely to this life long process. The Music Boutique has always been inclusive, holistic and child centred when it comes to non high support spectrum autism.
For many of our families, the Music Boutique is much more than just a piano lesson. It’s an oasis that provides a multi sensory therapy experience for all generations.
We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle in one of London’s somewhat historical backwaters, the legendary Lambeth Walk, known for the stage musical production of the same name ‘Lambeth Walk’.
Although we love and appreciate all that the Music Boutique represents, we are not living in a dream world and know that the hard reality is that we need to raise funds to keep the doors open. Otherwise, like so many other amazing small artisan businesses, the Music Boutique WILL close. Of course, not without a fight, but there is only so much we can do by ourselves.
We need your support to help continue with creating magical, musical memories in a place like no other. Our dream is to leave a legacy by making a beautiful impact on the world via the children that we educate through music.
Please share your stories and love for this enchanting little music school on social media and help spread our magical, musical memories created by the Music Boutique Experience.
Trying to leave this current world a little bit better than we found it.
Such a place is a rare find and certainly not to be lost!
Please share! Recommend a new pupil and/or donate to help keep an incredible little music school open.
A little from a lot of people will help us to continue creating magical musical memories
