Purchase your regional musician’s music
Artists do not earn a lot from streaming – so now is the time to invest in their music. Buy physical CDs or vinyl releases from homegrown acts (you can order online for home delivery) or purchase songs and albums digitally. This is also a good time to see if your favourite artist or band sells merchandise online.
Share their music
Instead of using social media to complain about politics or toilet paper hoarders, use your platforms to promote our artists to your followers and others around the world. Talk 'em up to the world and be sure to include links to their websites and videos. It is more important than ever to tell the rest of the world about the incredible talent here at home.
Donate to musicians
Support them in these difficult times. Many are offering virtual concerts via social media for you to enjoy at home. Consider using their digital TIP JAR, their PAYPAL link or their email they offer for an e-transfer to offer them assistance.
Support your Venues
Support them too in these difficult times. If they offer a take-out menu please consider using that as a means of support. Also consider buying Gift Certificates to help them out.
Support Music Education
MusiCounts works hard to enact our mission to make music education accessible and sustainable for in-need schools and communities across the country.
Over the past two decades, MusiCounts has allocated more than $14,000,000 of musical instruments and equipment to schools and community organizations across the country, however, they’re so much more than that. They’re building innovative, online tools and learning resources so educators can adapt to their new teaching environment. They’re honouring incredible educators and youth through their awards and scholarships. They’re collaborating with some of the brightest minds in music education to conduct research that will make positive impacts for years to come.
