‘When I began at secondary school, I was a shy 11-year-old. I never put my hand up. I didn't believe in myself. Music has given me confidence that I can achieve; it has had a remarkable impact on how I conduct myself in other parts of my life.’ This is a testimony from Deronne White, a student turned charity ambassador who was given the opportunity to learn the flute through Music in Secondary Schools Trust (MiSST). Since then, White has gone on to be principal piccolo of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain (NYO), a Royal College of Music graduate, and a flautist in Chineke! Orchestra.
