Awards for Young Musicians believe that all talented young people deserve the chance to progress in their music making. That’s why they’re awarding up to £100,000 in grants to exceptional young instrumentalists in need of support.
AYM are inviting applications from young instrumentalists playing any musical genre to join their 2017 Awards Programme. Award winners will receive flexible funding towards musical costs (e.g. tuition, instrument costs, travel etc.) and individual support, which may include mentoring, master classes with professional musicians, the chance to observe professional orchestras and other ensembles in rehearsal, free tickets to concerts and performance opportunities.
AYM’s key criteria are musical talent and financial need. To find out if you are eligible to apply you should visit http://apply.www.a-y-m.org.uk. The deadline for applications is Friday 3 March 2017 and Awards will be granted in May 2017.
“Not having to worry about paying for lessons meant a huge deal for my family, but it was the additional aspects of the Award that were even more enhancing, such as the concert tickets, involvement in auditioning and the amazing Awards Day. I love playing my violin and taking part in activities that I wouldn't normally think I could do inspired me to work even harder.” Nicolas, age 13 from Derbyshire
