Welcome to MusicLinks
MusicLinks is a registered charity. It was founded by Andy Halsey, Anice Paterson, James Darrington and The Westmorland Music Council.
It has been run by a team of committed community musicians since 2002 with early support provided by The Westmorland Music Council. The purpose of the organisation is to engage with people of all ages, introducing them to new musical experiences.
Over the years this has lead to a diversity of projects from The RFactor highlighting the benefits of recycling, to the Music Bus which visited festivals and other events for seven years profiling local talent.
MusicLinks has won two national awards for innovation in the community and one for promoting green issues.
PLAY MAGICNOTES*
Magic Notes is an online interactive music instrument you can join in with.
It’s made of grids of videos, each with a different musical sound, from singing, to violins, to drums or an electric guitar.
The videos can be played one at a time or all at once and you can start and stop each film to create your own arrangement.
