Youth Music
Youth Music is a national charity set up in 1999 to provide high quality and diverse music-making for 0-18 year olds. It targets young people living in areas of social and economic need who might otherwise lack opportunity.
The organisation has three main roles; funder, development agency and advocate. Our aim is to establish a music-making legacy that fulfils the following key objectives:
Access - For those with least opportunity
Breadth - Music of all styles and all cultures
Coverage - Rural, urban, coastal and UK-wide
Quality - Encouraging high standards for all
Youth Music receives £10m a year National Lottery funding through Arts Council England. It has also levered in more than £13.7m in partnership funding from other sources.
By 2006, Youth Music aims to have reached more than 3 million young people and their wider communities.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
