Worum geht es im Projekt?
The Open Music School is a musical knowledge and skill-sharing project that aims to support diversity in the music scene of Berlin and beyond. The project focuses on the inclusion and empowerment of migrants, marginalised people, and those seeking a positive social network in Berlin. Everyone is welcome to join and contribute to the Open Music School activities regardless their gender, nationality, ethnicity or migration status. Participation is free of charge. Our talented volunteers develop and run workshops and weekly classes from guitar, to ukulele, to electronic music production. Several musical branches formed within the Open Music School such as the Open Music Lab, that focuses on electronic music production and released their first participant-made compilation album in September 2020. In 2017, the Open Music School won Berlin Music Commission’s “Listen to Berlin” Award.
