A community project that aims to boost music-making in nurseries and children's centres in London has been found successful in bringing quality musical experiences to children.

Research was commissioned by the Wigmore Hall in London, a national venue for chamber music, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Chamber Tots. It found that the flagship early years programme 'raises the level of provision in settings so that it is likely to have a longer-time influence on the quantity and range of musical experience for the children'.

Chamber Tots, which has run music workshops in more than 80 early years settings, is led by professional musicians in settings in the boroughs of Hackney, Westminster and Tower Hamlets. It holds an annual series of concerts at the hall with performances from the children.
