National Youth Arts Wales (NYAW) and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) have announced a new partnership to support music education in Wales.
The organisations will work together on a range of new and existing initiatives to champion ‘high-quality, accessible, engaging and inclusive music education and experiences for young people throughout Wales’.
During the first year, the focus will be on three strands: talent pathways, youth voice and collecting data. This will identify cold spots in provision for young people and deliver several projects, including ‘Côr Skills’ (a programme to give singers an experience of choral singing) and ‘Strings Attached’ (a programme to boost the skills of young violin, viola, bass and cello players).
The partnership was announced at a concert by the National Youth Brass Band of Wales, at The Great Hall, Swansea, on 28 July.
