Join us  
Anyone who has ever joined a music group to play, sing or listen will know that there is more to it than just turning up for rehearsals or concerts.

Each group faces its own challenges in the course of its musical activities. These might include properly insuring events and concerts, raising finances for soloists or professional artists, or understanding how to run a charitable group.

Here's where Making Music comes in ...
With over 2,600 music groups in membership, Making Music exists to help voluntary music making flourish in the UK.

Based on the shared experience of members past and present we have developed a comprehensive range of membership services. Through these dedicated services our aim is to ensure that you spend less time worrying about your administration and more time making music.

By joining Making Music your group receives:

- Public Liability, Employer's Liability and Personal Accident insurance at exclusive rates - ensuring you're covered for all risks (click here to read a summary of cover)

- A one-stop shop for a diverse range of artistic, financial and information services - from advice on setting up your group to developing your audiences and applying for funding

- A dedicated team of professional staff on hand by phone and email

- Representation and lobbying at regional and national levels through the largest umbrella arts organisation in the UK

- Simple PRS fee collection, CRB checks, repertoire service, an online music exchange scheme, training & development grants, regional committee support, a tri-annual newsletter packed with useful information and news relevant to you, and more...
