NYJO Learning nurtures young musicians aged 18 and under through high-quality workshops, courses and performance opportunities. We value access, inclusivity, process and progress at all levels and believe in harnessing the power of musical participation as a tool for personal growth.

Youth voice is at the heart of NYJO Learning and we invite young people from all backgrounds to bring their creativity and individuality to work with us in order to realise their musical ambitions.

 

How Can I Take Part?

NYJO Learning offers young people opportunities to grow as musicians, express themselves and have fun. We hope that young people will have lots to learn from us, and equally that we will have lots to learn from them.

We feel strongly that no young person should be excluded from music-making opportunities due to financial reasons. All of our NYJO Learning work, including our London-based Under 18s programme, is free to access for those who need it.

If you’re an educator, parent, or young musician anywhere in the UK, and would like to find out more about learning opportunities with NYJO, get in touch with us today at [email protected]!
