Youth Music is
a national charity that funds and facilitates music-making
for young people up to the age of 18, particularly those
living in areas of social and economic need. By 2010,
Youth Music aims to have reached 3 million children and
young people in a nationwide strategy to support youth
music-making.
Since December 2000, Youth Music has set up 24 Action
Zones in areas of social and economic need across England
and Wales. The aim is to provide music-making activities
to young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
Each Zone is made up of established organisations from
the public, voluntary and private sector. Youth Music
Action Zones cover all genres of music and deliver
a wide range of activities including workshops, rehearsals,
performances, one-to-one teaching and mentoring. More
information is available at www.youthmusic.org.uk
