Over the past couple of weeks, we were working with an award winning record producer from the UK and two academics from the Centre for Media and Cultural Research at Birmingham City University on a project to explore the ways in which our music projects can find a wider audience online, and be used as a tool for fundraising. Through collaboration with a range of local professional musicians, we are recording a children’s album featuring the singing and enjoyment of the children we work with and our volunteer musicians. The album will be released online as part of the research and will be available for free – or with a donation.
