Roynon Music is a part of Roynon Creatives, a CIC business (not for profit) with the aim of delivering accessible, effective provision of performing arts in schools, community organisations and the corporate sector.
We are passionate about raising the wellbeing, the enjoyment and the understanding of music and dance via qualified professionals. We aim to show individuals and their communities that everyone can be creative and, in doing so, it naturally helps support life skills and core subjects.
We understand the power of the performing arts to support and improve mental and physical health and we don’t want to keep our knowledge and expertise to ourselves.
This includes whole class and community workshops, peripatetic small groups, 1-1, SEN delivery and content to help disadvantaged communities, mental health and elderly groups. We also work with businesses to help with corporate wellbeing retreats, team building and, of course, imparting skills to help support health and creative development.
As well as schools, we’ve connected with charitable organisations and businesses and will continue to work with corporate sector organisations to raise mental and physical health as well as the cultural awareness of music (samba, african drums, the roots of contemporary genres). Our work feeds into wellbeing, productivity, communication, sense of self and problem solving.
We enable our participants! This also includes open competitions between schools, colleges, communities and workplaces such as ‘The Samba School Challenge’ (making a samba band and competing carnival-style) and ‘Roynon Top Ten Chart’ (ICT based composition work). In schools, we train adults to become the enabler, such as our ground-breaking ‘Take the Lead’ programme that up skills staff and breaks boundaries of having to rely on a professional coming in, delivering abstract content then leaving.
Not only are we proud of our sharing of skills, we also operate as not-for-profit. This means Roynon Creatives CIC invest the funding back into the company to help as many individuals in schools and community organisations as possible.
Our work has been created as a result of discovering a genuine gap in performing arts provision. Music, for example, is either heavily focused on classic instruments and techniques and grading, or it is high engagement contemporary instruments with no structure. We know this from direct experience in the field.
We already have a track record of making music and dance learning much more accessible, progressive and fun and in turn raise community knowledge and wellbeing.
Our aim is to become a national brand, break the elitist stigma that music is the few and in turn raise the collective wellbeing.
