Our Members and Patrons are a vital part of our community, making a significant contribution to the lives of our young musicians that would otherwise be unable to participate. They help to provide access to masterclasses, lessons, collaborations with professional musicians and touring opportunities. Membership also supports our work with our inclusive music groups for children and young people with special educational needs/disabilities and their parents/carers and siblings.
