"Making a difference through music” with Debra Baxter


Listen Later

On today's episode of Scale Her Up, we have Debra Baxter, the founder of Music 4 U. Music 4 U is a charity meant to allow young people to experience the performing arts without barriers. After noticing a number of schools in Aberdeenshire were starting to reduce or cut their performing arts programs in school, she set out to fill in the gaps academia leaves in a child's creative education. She then started Music 4 you, creating an integrated stage school that has helped thousands of young people over the 20 years it’s been opened. She has grown the program to allow them to visit people in places like hospices and expose them to live theatre, and truly provide a space for young people to communicate through music. On today’s episode, Debra speaks about the challenges she's faced starting a not for profit organization, how she grown her organization to be featured on shows like BBC’s The One Show, and talks about Music 4 You’s new fundraiser effort- 500 4 500, and how local business across Aberdeen can help.
