REVIEW OF MAKING MUSIC HAPPEN 2000-2005 |
|
|
|
Making Music Happen was the Making Music 5-year plan 2000-2005. It grouped our organisational priorities into five key areas of activity.
This five years of work helped bring about a period of major change, developing and improving the organisation.
All five areas are directly relevant to the organisation's work today.
The current Making Music 5-year plan five years five aims 2006-2010 contains the full review of Making Music Happen 2000-2005. Click here for more information.
SUMMARY OF REVIEW
Membership Services were strengthened and enhanced over the five years. There is now a dedicated Membership Service Team at the Making Music Office and service level agreements have been created for all services.
The most significant development was the launch of the website incorporating online versions of the Repertoire Service, Programme Note Bank, Music Exchange Scheme, Information Sheets and How to Guides.
An extensive range of lobbying activity occurs on behalf of the voluntary sector music making. We are now represented on many major Government and non-Governmental organisations including the Live Music Forum, the National Music Council, the Music Education Council, the Creative Industries Higher Education and Further Education Task Force, the National Music Education Forum and the Music Manifesto Singing Reference Group.
During the plan the introduction of the Licensing Bill (now the Licensing Act 2004) created a major lobbying requirement to ensure our members' interests were not compromised.
Our capacity to provide direct support and advice to members has grown considerably. We now have a professional Regional Development Officer in most regions of England and in Scotland.
Supplementing the work of our volunteers, R&D Officers are able to support our members in a variety of ways, including through individual advice and seminars.
A wide range of regional and national projects have been initiated eg. BREAKOUT! promoting contemporary music in the Eastern Region, Scotland Audience Development programme and the Wales Community Development programme.
Listen Up! in partnership with BBC Radio 3 and the Association of British Orchestras, a month long festival of orchestral live music, was the first national event presenting voluntary and professional orchestras on an equal footing.
Young Promoters Scheme which ran in England and Scotland is now recognised as the innovative and exciting scheme it is and we hope to roll-out a national scheme in the future.
Work with and for young people included tuned in, RESOUND and the 'Singing Challenge'. Between them creating more than 100 projects involving Making Music member groups working with a total of more than 10,000 young people.
This has led to the publication of over 60 case studies, Information Sheets and How to Guides.
Another area of activity was advancing the cause of all live music making throughout the UK and Making Music has continued its extensive programme of lobbying particularly through membership of music industry bodies.
