Instrument Maintenance Guides
Hubs and Music Services may need to provide pupils, parents and carers with instrument maintenance guides whilst the country is in lockdown. If you don’t have guides ready to go, we may be able to help! Inspiring Music, Bedfordshire, Hounslow Music Service, Barking and Dagenham Community Music Service and Buckinghamshire Music Trust have kindly shared their guides – get in touch with us at info@musicmark.org.uk if you have guides you can share with the wider membership.
