“I started doing it in my home county and now I’m going national. Now I visit more high schools that really need financial support for music classes and you can see what a difference it makes.”stated Sheeran at Sun.

In the past the famous artist made generous donations to his old schoolThomas Mills High in Suffolk, when he was told in 2018 by his teacher about a cut in funding.

“I’m not an academic, in the real world I’d be considered dumb. But I excelled in music and that’s why people think I’m good at something. I found it helped a lot that I was in a public school that really encouraged me about music. In England they have basically cut the funding for this course so I’m doing everything I can to find money” continued the star.

“I think the new government will be better at it”concluded.
