We're celebrating Make Music Day 2020 with Blast Off! - a #JamAtHome Youtube livestream on Sunday 21st June between 6pm-8pm, with performances of musicians and dancers from Paragon's new programmes - Horizons Online, M3 Online, Beat It Online & Stride Online.

Join the event here.

The event will feature special guest presenters and prize giveaways, as well as the opportunity to join in the live chat on our Youtube Channel and follow the action on our socials.

Through Blast Off! we are raising money to invest in our online inclusive music and dance programmes, in response to the current Covid-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of May, we have been delivering regular weekly online sessions to keep people connected, making music, dancing and smiling! For a glimpse of what we've been up to so far in lockdown, have a listen to "Time Goes Slowly The Now" , which was created by some young musicians on Paragon's Tune Online programme and even featured on BBC Radio Scotland's Make a Difference show!

People have already been telling us just how much Paragon's online sessions mean to them:

Many of the people who attend our programmes fall into the sheilding category and won't be able to attend our physical workshops for some time to come. This funding will help us continue to deliver & develop our online programmes to reach people who are isolated, due to shielding or other health reasons, as well as people from rural communities.
