Supporting musical talent
Music is an important aspect of our lives, from pop culture, theatre, television and films to worship, celebrations and ceremonies. Research shows that music ignites all areas of child development including intellectual, social-emotional, language and literacy.
Above all, music brings us joy!
Not everyone is fortunate to have access to musical instruments or access to exams and events to further their development. Youth Music Swindon aims to provide opportunities and support for the development of musical talent.
We support individuals, groups and schools by providing funds for
- Instruments, books, and musical scores for use in higher education
- Exam fees
- Music focused trips, workshops, master classes and concerts

Please help us in any way you can so that we can continue to bring the magic and joy of making music to more young people.
