Ed Sheeran reportedly funded the cost of a primary school teacher taking a music course so that they could help children with learning difficulties.
The grant from the singer, 29, means that the teacher will now be able to help the children create songs after taking the special course.
Ed’s charity, the Framlingham Foundation Trust, are believed to have donated the money to give the teacher the skills to help children who may be unable to use traditional instruments.

According to the Sun, the charities annual accounts revealed: ‘The foundation paid for a primary music teacher to undertake a specialist teaching course in the Kodaly learning method.
‘This method is well known as an alternative to traditional music tuition (focussing predominantly on aural skills and intuitive skill) and allows those students with learning difficulties to access a world of musical creation they may otherwise find it difficult to connect with.’

Meanwhile, Ed’s mother Imogen is also doing her bit as the director of the Suffolk Kodaly Community Interest Company, which hopes to give children across the region a ‘progressive music education’.
In accounts from earlier this year, Imogen said that their aim is for every pupil to sing regularly because it is hugely beneficial to their development.
MailOnline reached out to Ed’s representative for comment.
Last week, Ed responded to Marcus Rashford’s call for deprived children to receive free half term meals by opening a breakfast club at his west London bistro.
The multi-millionaire singer has provided a hot breakfast to any child who qualifies for free school meals through his Notting Hill restaurant, Bertie Blossoms.

The Portobello Road business is the latest to get behind Rashford’s initiative after Tory MPs rejected the Manchester United striker’s push to extend free school meals during the week long break.
Sharing the news on the establishment’s Instagram page, Ed, 29, wrote: ‘In these difficult times, Berties want to offer anyone who is normally entitled to a free school meal or who is struggling in these strange times, a hot breakfast.
‘Drop in between 9am-11am tomorrow or 8am-11am for the rest of the week and we’ll be offering a hot breakfast, fruit and a hot or cold drink to kids – no questions asked.
‘Either eat-in or take-out. We are with you, we are behind you and we love you! Spread the word.’

The Government’s social mobility watchdog also supported Rashford, saying 600,000 more children were in poverty than in 2012.
‘We believe the Government should do all it can to start reversing that trend,’ a Social Mobility Commission spokesman said.
‘It should begin by ensuring that all children are properly fed.’
