The Blauwmark Foundation is an initiative to promote wind music and percussion within the Municipality of Groot Venlo in the broadest sense of the word. We have now started the Academy, which aims to help aspiring, enthusiastic musicians learn to make music for free in an accessible way. About 35 musicians from the Joeksakademie have successfully found joy in making music and many have now joined a joekskapel or music association. Where the intention was to stop after midnight, the demand for lessons has now grown into a full-fledged Drum School on Monday evenings and the lesson evening on Friday evenings for wind instruments has also remained. We are growing! The most important thing is to enjoy making music in a relaxed atmosphere. The foundation lives on donations, without your help we cannot offer free music lessons. This can be in the form of musical instruments or a monetary donation. We are bursting with ideas, are you? Then let us know and we can see together how far we can go!
