The Independent Society of Musicians (ISM) is the UK's professional body for musicians and a nationally recognised subject association for music. 

Since 1882, we have been dedicated to promoting the importance of music and protecting the rights of those working in the music profession. As the largest non-union representative body, we support over 11,000 across the UK and Ireland with our unrivalled legal advice and representation, comprehensive insurance and specialist services. 

Our members come from all areas of the music profession including performers, educators, composers and songwriters, academia, music therapists and more, bringing a wide variety of genres and musical backgrounds. 

We campaign tirelessly in support of musicians’ rights, music education and the profession as a whole. We are a financially independent, not-for-profit organisation with no political affiliation. This independence allows us the freedom to campaign on any issue affecting musicians.

In 2021, the ISM was named Individual Member Association of the Year at the UK Association Awards and in 2022 became the Independent Society of Musicians.
