Thornbury Area Youth Music
Run by professional music tutors and parents for children who want to learn a musical instrument in a fun and supportive environment
TAYM welcomes you to Manorbrook School.
For further information, please contact our administrator at info@thornbury-music.org
We meet on Saturday mornings, during term time, at Manorbrook School in Thornbury, and run a variety of musical activities for children aged between 4 and 18.
Our aim is to remove barriers to learning an instrument and to make it fun!
"Music education matters.
Young people want to participate in it, and it brings real benefits to millions who do.
It supports educational outcomes, improves health and wellbeing, and creates opportunities in growing sectors of the economy"
From: 'How to ensure every child can access a good music education', Ben Cooper, Senior Researcher, Fabian Society August 2022
