Durban Music School | 21 Diakonia Av, Durban, Durban, 4000

(Durban Music School) is in the heart of Durban, South Africa, in the Albert Park Area, in an exceptionally low income area, almost a ghetto or slum but the reason that this position was chosen was that Mr Dannewitz, the first C.E.O and Artistic Director of the centre, felt that he could enrich and offer a future to the children of this neighbourhood. This community is previously disadvantaged and the centre hopes to help with the regeneration of this area. He could have chosen anywhere in Durban but his heart went out to the children who had no chance of ever getting music lessons or hearing good music. The centre draws many talented young musicians from the surrounding townships and because it is centrally situated it can accommodate children from all over the Durban Metropolitan area.
