A project by YMCA BARRY

Major Music

The project aims to run every Tuesday evening from 6pm - 9pm at our recording studio in Llantwit Major Youth Centre. We already have a dedicated team of volunteers but some costs we just cant escape, such as our music tutor and project manager, the cost for our internet and insurance on our equipment. £250 is the bare minimum cost of opening the doors and running the project for 1 month. Thats 4 sessions at just £62.50 per session.

Why they need our service

There has been a significant budget cut to youth projects across the Vale of Glamorgan. Major Music is a project run by YMCA Barry based in Llantwit Major Youth Centre. This is one of the only creative music projects being run in the Vale for young people between 11-25 years old. It has been running since 2006 and provides a unique platform for young people to develop skills and express themselves through music in a safe and controlled environment.

Plan and expected results

The Major Music project is a unique project in the Vale as it not only develops young peoples skills in music playing and performance, but soft skills like having the confidence to write a song and perform it in front of an audience. We provide access to music tutors and a professional recording studio. Major Music has a core group of 45 participants and regularly services up to 25 participants on a Tuesday evening.
