Welcome to Awards for Young Musicians
We support the UK’s most talented young musicians (aged 5 to 18) who, because of financial need, may be prevented from fulfilling their creative potential.
Developing a young person’s musical ability requires considerable investment: hours dedicated to practice, travel to be taught by the best available teachers, specialised courses to expand musical horizons and build on skills, and the purchase or loan of high quality instruments. All these cost a great deal of money.
In families where income is limited, it is often impossible to find the funds to support these expenses. This is where AYM aims to help. By fundraising from a wide range of sources, we run an annual awards process, whereby £50,000 is distributed to the most talented young musicians in the greatest financial need. We also offer a year-round advice and information service for young musicians and their families.
This website will:
tell you more about our work
ask for your assistance in funding our work
explain our awards process
direct you to further help and advice
We hope you find the information interesting and helpful.
