Encore Youth Music

"It’s wonderful to see so many thriving ensembles rehearsing on a Saturday morning at Hereford Sixth Form College. As a former member of the Staffordshire Music Service, I know how much youngsters gain from these opportunities. There are huge benefits and enjoyment that acrue from playing in the groups. These will help to nurture success and pleasure in their later lives."

Quote from Peter Cooper, Principal of Herefordshire Sixth Form College

General Information

Encore Youth Music (EYM) is the banner which all county ensembles come under. It allows children and young people who are learning to play an instrument to come together, play together and enjoy music together.

There are a great number of advantages to learning a musical instrument:

Meeting new friends of other ages and from other schools
Learning to play music of a variety of styles, alongside others
Improving musical and technical abilities
Developing listening and aural skills
Learning to be part of a team and developing team-building skills
Developing skills such as social interaction and discipline etc

"Thank you all for such a fantastic term at EYM. Our children hugely enjoyed it, and the concerts at the end of the year were delectable cherries on top."
