Back in 2018, Creative United organised a celebratory event marking the 10th anniversary of the Take it away scheme, our flagship programme which focuses on reducing the financial barriers faced by many people wishing or needing to purchase a new musical instrument.
We also announced the formation of a new consortium, signalling our commitment to making music education and the wider music industry more open, diverse and accessible, primarily through providing adapted instruments and assistive equipment for use by disabled musicians. In this, we worked in partnership with other organisations and individuals with lived experience of the challenges.
Seven years on, the Inclusive Music Consortium* is still going strong. We meet quarterly to share knowledge, celebrate achievements and provide space for discussion and encouragement as we continue to work towards our shared goals. These sessions explore ways in which we can support music professionals of all kinds to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to ensure that music learning and performance experiences are delivered in an inclusive and accessible way.
