£1.2m for youth music projects in Scotland
Creative Scotland has made £1.2m available to support out-of-school music making for young people across Scotland.
The Access to Music Making fund is open to anyone delivering musical projects to under 25s, while Strengthening Youth Music will fund research or training projects to bolster Scotland's youth music sector.
Applications are open until September 6.
Creative Scotland's announcement coincides with the 2021/22 Youth Music Initiative annual plan.
It pledges to support the Music Education Partnership Group's manifesto, which includes free instrumental tuition in schools.
Culture Minister Jenny Gilruth said: "We know that taking part in music activity gives young people new skills, improves wellbeing and boosts confidence, so I am delighted that this funding will support projects to increase access to high quality music-making".
