Youth Music campaigns with and alongside young people on the issues that matter most to them.

  • We work to influence policy so that inclusive, relevant, long-term music education is standard practice.
  • We work to ensure that the music education workforce is skilled, valued and fairly paid.
  • We work to form links between music education and the music industry, and ensure young people are supported to take their next steps, whatever they might choose to do.
  • We work to break down barriers in the music industries, to ensure that the sound of the next generation is more diverse, more relevant, more equitable and more creative.

A Blueprint for the Future

Our new report found thousands of young people pursuing a career in the music industry are being driven out of the sector they love, or forced to go it alone. A Blueprint for the Future sets out a positive vision for change that’s centred on the power of supporting and cultivating young creatives across the music industry.
