No instrument? No problem!
For the 17th year, Make Music Day 2025 features Mass Appeal, bringing together people of all levels and ages to make music in large, single-instrument groups.
Not quite music lessons, not quite jam sessions, Mass Appeals are a special kind of musical happening of their own. And anyone can take part – in many cases, you don’t even need to bring an instrument!
