Workshops, Ensembles, Bursaries, Instrument Loan, Room Hire and more! WRM is a music charity supporting and enabling local communities and individuals to realise their music making ambitions and initiatives. Our many rural outreach programmes aim to widen music participation in music through high quality performances, workshops and activities. In recent years these outreach projects have included:
- 'Music On Your Doorstep' - full-day events in villages and towns throughout the county, focusing on participation, interaction with instruments and digital music tech.
- 'Music On The Move' - a collaboration with Wiltshire Mobile Libraries, bringing live educational events and concerts into rarely-visited villages, schools and town halls.
- 'Keep Music In Mind' -based on research into the power of music for those living with dementia in older generations especially, musicians perform live in care and residential homes, as well as dementia members' clubs and more.
- 'Visible Voices' - songwriters and musicians work together with organisations such as drop-in centres for the homeless, Alzheimer's Support, LGBTQ+ charities and Black Families to write songs based on personal experience and stories from within those organisations and groups. Other aspects of our work include;
- Bursaries and Awards for adults and young people, including the Liz Lawrence
