Youth Music Makes Music Accessible to All

Founded in 1999, Youth Music is the UK's leading charity dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged youth through music. The organization believes that anybody, regardless of their background, should have an opportunity to discover their creativity and fulfill their potential through music-making. Since its inception, Youth Music has reached more than 2.5 million children and young people, helping them improve their communication skills, increase their self-confidence, and achieve success in both music and their personal lives.

Youth Music works with young people who are facing the challenges of poverty, disability, criminality, and disengagement from education. Among the charity's initiatives are Youth Music Voices, a youth choir consisting of a hundred talented members from different backgrounds, and MusicLeader, a national network that aims to improve the quality and impact of music leadership in the UK. MusicLeader supports individuals and organizations that are interested in music-making by offering guidance, information, training, and networking opportunities.
