We know that many of our member groups operate on a tight budget. Working with our corporate members, we’ve collected more than two dozen discounts, subsidies and offers to help our members save on everything from sheet music to booking artists and making recordings.
Lots of the discounts are for individuals too – such as music technology software and instrument insurance – meaning you can pass the benefit on to any individual member of your group. You just need to invite them to register.
Below you can see a list of all our currently available discounts, offers and subsidies with links to find out more about claiming them. If there is a discount your group would find useful that is not listed get in touch and let us know.
