Music plays an important role in our lives rather than just being a source of entertainment. It not only allows us to express our feelings but has been known to help build communities and empower people of all ages. Music Factory uses music as a tool to bond, heal, and be happy. Since 2022, Music Factory has supported us through awareness and donation drives, music training, and sensitisation initiatives - creating opportunities to heal, grow, and build an inclusive society together.

Music Training
