​

A group of TAYM young musicians

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"
