Sue Benson, Managing Trustee of the Great Bowden Recital Trust, gives us an update on their group's involvement with Making Music's INCLUDE...
In this recording of our webinar (original event 25 September 2023), Making Music launched INCLUDE, our 18-month inclusion programme where we will work with four member groups to explore what leisure-time music groups can do to include more people, from a more diverse demographic, in their regular activities.
We heard from inspirational guest speakers, the groups we will be working with, member groups on their inclusion journey and also about brand-new tools we’ll be launching for all our members, including the new Making Music Census Comparison Survey which can now be found on our website as a resource for members.
The launch included:
Keynote addresses
Roger Wilson, Director of Operations for Black Lives in Music
Rachel Wolffsohn, General Manager of the OHMI Trust
Dr Michael Bonshor, Course Director for the University of Sheffield’s MA Music Psychology in Education, Performance and Wellbeing.
