Many music-lovers are unable to use music software and struggle to engage with ‘tech’ led education resources.
So, during lockdown, CDR developed a supportive online learning environment and community with artist-led,free online tutorials for beginners up to advanced.
Hosted on zoom, the whole process is interactive and centred around participants learning priorities -using social media to allow our audiences to choose the theme of each workshop,and then allowing participants to engage with each other and the throughout the session to shape the lessons.
The project was a response to the lockdowns, and a way for budding producers around the country to connect and combat the isolation of that period. But we had such a great time, and got such good feedback from the community that we decided we have to keep going with the ILS format. So keep your eyes peeled...
Since we started back in 2001, CDR has been all about community, creating spaces for people to connect and develop through music.
Back in the Plastic People days, you could fit all of us in one small room around one soundsystem. Today, our projects and programmes extend from the dancefloor to schools, youth centres, as well as grassroots clubs and venues across the country and further afield. But in challenging times, with grassroots organisations like ours closing all around us, every bit of support counts.
Your help will enable us to continue delivering music programmes and events in the UK to the people who need it most. Our mission is simple: to build an equitable music ecosystem for producers and artists.
