 Music Mark and WMG Get Playing together

"Whether it's singing, creating, playing an instrument, or enjoying listening to music, evidence shows that engaging with music from a young age has many benefits. Plus, it's great fun!" - Music Mark

Warwick Music Group are delighted to be supporting Music Mark’s “Get Playing” campaign. In addition to our free, online education resources we have put together a “Get Playing” support package to help hubs get more children playing brass.

 

free mouthpieces

Firstly, we will provide 500 free mouthpieces to Hubs to help kickstart access and inclusion to brass learning and support implementing COVID-safe teaching practice.

* These will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis with some common-sense fair use provisos.

If you would like to apply to receive a share of the 500 mouthpieces please email chris@warwickmusic.com with a brief and simple proposal of how you would like to use them.

 

Secondly, we are making a suite of eleven of our key, first access and beginner publications available with a 25% discount to Hubs as digital downloads.
