In 2023 Drum and Brass focussed on three strategic aims: to increase participation in music, increase the impact* of our work and to increase revenue to support our work with low income participants.To this end we ran programmes of music tasters in Leicester and Cumbria, which involved recruiting and training new staff members.Drum and Brass took on the management of the Woodgate Music programme in Leicester, and offered music activities every afternoon for children coming from local schools. This involved recruiting new staff members and a much greater management role, for which Sim Mistry took responsibility.Our Drum and Brass Mini Music programme transferred from director Kim Burley Jones to a freelance music practitioner, again increasing our management responsibilities.Participation improved with closer community engagement,, better partnerships esp. with the Leicestershire Music Hub (LMH), LCB Depot and Woodgate in Leicester, Blue Jam Arts In Cumbria and national organisations BAMT and BBE and targeted marketing via social media and fliersThe main costs have been time spent defining goals and collating data.The benefits are the forming of empowered musical communities, developing skills and agency and increasing diversity in music-making.This year D+B delivered112 regular sessions with ave. attendance 14 23 community events with ave. audience 300The approximate percentage of project participants facing barriers due to low income (postcode), ethnic background and/or social and emotional needs = 94%*Directors defined impact for D+B as - diversity and inclusion of participation (at one off events and regular attendance of our groups)- wellbeing of participants resulting from our work- skills attained
The company’s stakeholders live in rurally isolated villages in Cumbria and in low-income postcodes of Leicester. They face barriers to engagement in the arts through geography or cultural exclusion (racially minoritised, disabled). The directors of the company have lived in Cumbria and Leicester for a number of years and we have developed the model for our music services based on our experience of working in our communities and talking to our participants.We ask everyone using Drum and Brass services for the first time to fill in a short questionnaire about themselves, their individual needs and preferences. This has helped us to build up a profile of our participants’ needs and what we can do to meet them more effectively.We also use our Sounds of podcasts to capture the voices and opinions of our participants and stakeholders. Feedback is that residents who feel socially or physically excluded value the provision of local activities which offer companionship, a feeling of belonging and a sense of purpose. We encourage suggestions for music that our participants want to play, performance ideas and venues and ways to increase inclusion, whether this be attending the Anti-Racist Cumbria conference or ensuring there are overlays for players with dyslexia. We share these contributions wherever we can, on our website, with partners and in our social media.
