Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr John Davey Sir: It may be true that few children are having private lessons on electronic keyboard instruments ("Piano gives way to electronic keyboard", 25 January ), but it cannot be denied that they have become increasingly used in schools forthe purpose of introducing children to the world of music.
The recognition of this led Trinity College London to design and launch in 1994 a suite of graded examinations for the electronic keyboard similar to those already available for more traditional instruments, and the numbers of candidates are increasing healthily each year.
Yours faithfully, JOHN DAVEY Chief Executive Trinity College London London, W1
