TouchBass

We wanted to find a way of letting individuals and organisations professional or amateur share what they do as widely and easily as possible. Brenda Whitwell, communications co-ordinator, Make Music Gloucestershire TouchBass is a quick and easy way for your hub to signpost people to music teachers, music leaders, community musicians and specialist... music mentors; groups, bands, ensembles and choirs; studios, rehearsal rooms and practice spaces; lessons, music schools, workshops, music projects and more. Think of it like a locally-specific, music services search tool, giving people more targeted, informative, locally-specific information than Google or other search engines could provide. It can also be used by those searching on others behalf like all sorts of local authority or voluntary sector commissioners of services for children and young people, or individual schools. In Gloucestershire, we want to make sure that young people and parents are aware of all possible opportunities available to them. We invested in TouchBass because signposting young people at the start, and throughout their musical journeys is an important part of our strategy. Its a smart tool, that saves us time and means the whole music education community can be found by young people and parents looking for ways to learn and make music.
