We can all agree that anyone from any background and demographic should be able to participate in musical creativity, but for a range of reasons, that's unfortunately not possible for many people. The good news is that there are some amazing organizations out there who are dedicated to making music more accessible for all 🙌 These include: - Able Artist Foundation - Hejmo and Open Music Lab - Key Changes Positive Mental Health Through Music - Open Up Music - Saffron In this article, we've highlighted what these organizations are doing to tackle inaccessibility in music, and what individuals and businesses can do to help. We've recently partnered with Hejmo / Open Music Lab and Saffron to offer some free zplane plugins and member discounts - something we'd encourage any music tech businesses in our network to consider! Many organizations benefit hugely from any kind of support, and we're pleased to be able to contribute in any way to making music more accessible for everyone. https://lnkd.in/euMUzCYA
