The Youth Music Initiative (YMI) is designed to put music at the heart of children and young people’s lives and learning, and has been running for more than twenty years in Aberdeenshire. Funded by Creative Scotland, Aberdeenshire's YMI programme provides fun, accessible, high-quality music-making for thousands of young people aged 0-25 years, giving children and young people the chance to achieve their potential in or through music making no matter what their background or experience.
