We support talented young instrumentalists from low-income families throughout the UK, helping them to overcome financial and social barriers in their musical journeys.
Offering individual support to young people, our programmes sustain young people’s musical progress and help teachers identify and nurture talent wherever they find it.
AYM is a charity. Donations of time, effort and financial contributions from funders, donors and supporters are what keep us going.
