Exchanging Notes - Youth Music's Learning & Development Programme
In our 25-year history, we’ve learnt a lot. Yet every day, we are still inspired by innovative ideas from projects and professionals in the Youth Music community. By sharing our collective knowledge and building new connections, we believe this community can spark sustainable, nationwide changes in sector practices.
Meaning even more young people can change their life through music. Exchanging Notes* is our learning programme, delivering the latest thinking and tools to be more sustainable, more diverse, and more effective in working with 0-25s.

More information about Exchanging Notes
Sessions will be run by experts inside and outside our community, with an emphasis on championing underrepresented voices and diverse experiences. Session hosts will be paid, but attendance will be free. Due to no-shows, we are in the process of considering whether we start charging a small amount. Most will be open to everyone, but occasional sessions will just be for the projects we already fund.
So far we've covered: safeguarding, engaging 'hard to reach' young people, D/Deaf and Disability disclosure in the music industry, access and inclusion in the early years, LGBTQI+ and Trans Inclusion workshops and much more.
