Who we are
Drake Music is the leading national organisation working in music, disability and technology.
Our vision:
Non-disabled people can make music in many ways. We want the same for Disabled people. We want equal opportunities for everyone to make music. Our vision is a world where Disabled people have the same range of opportunities, instruments and encouragement, where Disabled and non-disabled musicians work together as equals.
What we do:
We work with disabled musicians of all ages and abilities, from school children making music for the first time, to professional musicians developing their career and practice. We offer commission opportunities, deliver education projects and develop new accessible musical instruments.
We have been pioneering the use of assistive music technology for over 20 years. We are specialists in using technology to break down disabling barriers to making music.
Where we work:
Our Head Office is located in London, but we are a national organisation working with schools, arts organisations, music hubs and musicians across England.
We are an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation and we are a member of Youth Music's Alliance for a Musically Inclusive England.
