1 Week to go! – Instrument Libraries Crowdfunder
It’s the last week of our Instrument Library crowdfunder – we’re at just under 75% of our target and need to raise another £1300k.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped support the project so far!
If you would like to help us reach our target and support the project, all donations are a huge help, and greatly appreciated!
We Make Music Instrument Libraries is a brand new initiative to get musical instruments into public libraries across Scotland, so people will be able to borrow them for free, just like taking out a book! The programme is launching with nine libraries in Fife, North Ayrshire and Edinburgh, with the intention that it spreads further across Scotland in future.
We want to fill these libraries with as many musical instruments and learning resources as we can. All money will go towards buying, repairing and servicing donated instruments and getting them into the libraries in good condition. We also want to buy music software and midi keyboards so people can start making music on library computers. Once the instruments are in the libraries, we want to offer music workshops and introductory lessons, develop online resources, and organise live music events in and around the libraries. The more money we raise and the more instruments people donate, the more music libraries we can open up around Scotland!
