Radio Jackie’s Rand Ismail talks to the founder of the World Heart Beat Academy Embassy Gardens about the importance of connecting children with music.

World Heart Beat is a registered charity founded by Sahana Gero, MBE in 2009.

It comprises a music academy, concert hall and recording studios.

The charity’s music academy began with just 70 students being taught in a converted warehouse space at Kimber Road in Southfields.

Bursting at the seams with over 320 students, it has opened a second music education centre in Embassy Gardens in the Nine Elms development in Battersea.
