Poly Rhythm
During the COVID-19 Pandemic we took time to speak with young people in Bodmin to find out how we could further support the youth here and what they would like to see happen.
With a lot of time out of school one thing that became clear was the lack of access to music, instruments and lessons. Poly Rhythm has been set up in response to that, a Musical Instrument Library where instruments can be loaned out for free so the community can, try something new, learn new skills and connect with others through music. The project is being run by young people but is accessible to anyone no matter you age, creating free access to music for all.

Poly Rhythm is now open. We have built up a stock of instruments and are have put the final touches together to make the space ready. The instruments that can be loaned for free and musicians will be available every Saturday morning to learn from and support you in finding the right instrument to burrow.
As we get going we are running a musical instrument amnesty so if you have any old instruments lurking in the attic, the shed or under the stairs, dig them out and donate them to this fantastic project. Another way to support this project. Any instruments are welcome, We can fix, we can mend and we can reuse. |
