Disabled musicians invited to join a new Music-Makers club

​Musicians with an upper limb weakness, absence or impairment are being invited to join a new Music-Makers club. The club is being set up by The OHMI Trust and is designed to bring together adults who use adapted musical instruments or enabling equipment as well as parents of children who use such instruments and their teachers.
 
The aim of the OHMI Music-Makers club is to enable disabled musicians to share their successes and challenges and become part of a much bigger and growing community.
 
It is free to join and members will receive:

• A link to join the closed OHMI Music-Makers Facebook group for adult musicians and parents.
• An invite for the member musician’s music teacher to join the closed OHMI Teachers Forum Facebook.
• An opportunity to join a specific mailing list for music-making opportunities, including ensemble sessions.
• Some OHMI goodies to enjoy and to help spread the word.

 
Rachel Wolffsohn, General Manager at OHMI, explains,
 
“We know playing an adapted instrument can often be a lonely experience, particularly for children when they might be the only person in their school who plays an adapted instrument. We decided to launch the group for the benefit of children who are having OHMI music lessons and for our instrument hirers but anyone who plays an adapted instrument is invited to join.
 
“We have very many talented musicians who are part of the OHMI community. The new club presents the opportunity for them to celebrate achievements and share their experiences of instruments and equipment with others who are learning at the same time.”
 

• Any musician, parent or teacher associated with learning an adapted instrument is invited to register their interest to join OHMI’s club by completing the OHMI Music-Makers ​Club expression of interest form. ​https://forms.microsoft.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=MXCEOweGEUemH1GqLJf9u9W_o3IJYL5OiLJX_deLtGdUMDg1WDNBRlE5VVVOU0lCVVI0QjlHUldKMi4u
