Check out our new FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page!
On February 22, 1986, the Coalition for Disabled Musicians, Inc. (a self-help non-profit organization) was formed. CDM was designed to:
Introduce disabled musicians to each other who have an
understanding of disability-related problems.
Give access to an
accessible rehearsal and recording
studio.
Create "tag-team" systems and other adaptive techniques
for pain, endurance, and other limitations.
Set up studio and stage bands for amateurs and professionals.
Hold live performances, produce recordings, and hold music
workshops and seminars.
Promote public awareness of the disabled community as a great
reservoir of talent and ability.

FINDING
NEW HOMES FOR INSTRUMENTS:
In addition to our local music endeavors and our internet involvement,
we are happy to announce that we recently assisted a disabled musician who lives
in Tennessee. In addition to his disabling condition, he is also still
displaced by the tragic hurricane Katrina. When his electric guitar recently
shorted out and with no funds to replace or repair it, he contacted us for
help. Luckily, we were able to turn to a small pool of donated instruments in
our studio, found a suitable replacement for him and shipped it right down to
him. He is extremely happy to be fulfilling his dream and playing again. Copies
of his correspondence with CDM can be found on our
Fan Mail page.
