We nurture 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. 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?
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, have a look through the pages below and then get in touch with us today at [email protected]!
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 therefore free to access for those who need it.
London
Based in Woolwich, NYJO Learning’s work in London includes our Saturday Under 18s programme, Holiday Projects, and Community Outreach.
National
Our national programme is based around Widening Access partnerships that respond to our partners’ work and their communities’ needs.
Our NYJO Learning 2025 Impact Report
2025 was another big year for NYJO Learning!
4,345 young people aged 18 and under took part in 248 sessions, lasting 545 hours, across which 50 of our 18-25 year old Emerging Professionals worked as educators, and 29 performances were given around the country by these young people in celebration of their hard work and musical achievements.
