Intended Impact of Aberdeenshire's YMI Programme

We want our programme to ensure all children and young people receive high-quality, engaging music-making opportunities that are meaningful to their own life experiences and culture. 

Our goal is to expand opportunities for those most in need, fostering their skills for life, learning, and work, whilst highlighting pathways for progression. 

We aim to broaden horizons by demonstrating the viability of careers in the creative industries.

Through our programme, we strive to develop skills, boost confidence, and support children and young people in having a voice and shaping their future.

"I don't think we can say anything beyond how wonderful it was to have live music in school.  It lifted our spirits and the girls were inspirational answering questions the children posed."
