Don Canedy's Company Details
Making Music is the UK's number one organisation for amateur music, with a membership of over 3,000 groups representing around 170,000 music makers across the UK. We have been supporting amateur music since 1935. Our priorities include helping our membership flourish, lobbying on behalf of the amateur music making community, and encouraging participation in music as a means to enhance personal and community well-being. We offer a range of services to support amateur music makers. They include: -Lobbying and advocacy: helping to guarantee that you have the opportunity to take part in music-making, carrying your voice to the decision-makers in government and elsewhere. -Practical resources: these range from our highly competitive insurance schemes, 60+ guidance sheets, and specialist tools to discounts, one-to-one advice, and much more. -Networking and development: including training, networking events, national conferences, and support near you through a team of managers in the England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. -Artistic support: an annual selection of professional artists, young and established, at specially negotiated prices, with some subsidies available; Music Bank offering repertoire searching, a member sheet music exchange and free programme notes; and national and local projects for members to take part in to develop themselves, their members and their audiences.
