Schuman School of Music

The Schuman School of Music is an independent Brussels music school that supports people of all ages and backgrounds in their musical development.

We believe that music is for everyone. That's why we want to make music education affordable, inclusive, and modern – including for children and young people from financially vulnerable families. Although it's proven that music education significantly boosts creativity, self-confidence, and social skills, it often remains out of reach for those who need it most. We want to change that.

Our school offers a personalised, flexible, and contemporary alternative to classical academies. Students choose their own instrument, follow one-on-one lessons with no entry barriers, and collaborate in bands or workshops. Our teachers are active musicians who bring practical experience and passion directly into the classroom.

We are at a turning point. In recent years, our activities have grown significantly, and we are currently operating at full capacity at our present location. Demand is increasing, and it is time for the next step: opening a second location in the heart of Brussels, near Rue du Midi. This new space will have eight fully equipped classrooms and become a vibrant hub for music, encounters, and collaboration with local partners such as music shops, community centres, and schools.

At the same time, we are seizing this expansion as an opportunity to strengthen social accessibility. Together with the Flemish Community Commission, we are developing a simple discount system so that young people from financially vulnerable families can also access affordable music lessons. In this way, the new location is not only a physical expansion but also an important step in our mission to make music education accessible to everyone.

For these ambitious but realistic plans, we need your support.

We are seeking an interest-free loan of €90,000, intended for:

 - the renovation and furnishing of the new location;

 - the purchase of instruments, sound equipment, and teaching materials;

 - the hiring of additional staff to guide more young people.

Sustainable Development Goals:

	Why Socrowd? Socrowd provides affordable financing for projects with positive societal impact, while helping to strengthen our clients' networks. One third of the loan amount is raised from the client’s supporters through the purchase of Socrowd shares. Socrowd then triples this amount and provides it to the client as an interest-free loan. Supporters can purchase one or more shares, each valued at €100. There is no maximum investment limit. Shares may be purchased for oneself, for another person (e.g., spouse, (grand)child), or on behalf of a company or legal entity. Once the loan is repaid, investors can sell their shares back to Socrowd. Since its founding in 2004, Socrowd has financed more than 165 social projects, with a total investment exceeding €9 million. We operate in Flanders and Brussels across the following sectors: healthcare and wellbeing, social economy, socio-cultural work, education, ecology, and international cooperation. Socrowd is a recognised credit-granting cooperative and is also recognised as a social enterprise. Investors are advised to read the comprehensive FSMA information note before investing. The Schuman School of Music crowdlending campaign aims to raise €30,000 by mid-October 2025 to secure an interest-free loan of €90,000.
