About us
NYMAZ (North Yorkshire Youth
Music Action Zone) works with strategic partners to deliver high
quality music-making activities for children and young people across
rural North Yorkshire. Working across a wide range of music genres and
styles our projects enable young people to access learning and
performance opportunities with highly skilled artists and develop new
musical, personal and social skills.
Partners include North Yorkshire County Council, Harrogate
International Festivals, Live Music Now, Pied Piper, Musicport,
Accessible Arts and Media, Dales Jam, Leeds College of Music,
Connecting Youth Culture, MusicLeader, Sing Up and Skipton Camerata and projects cover a range of activities for 0 - 18
year olds including singing activities for babies and pre-school
children; working with the latest interactive music and performance
technology; composition and performance residencies in special schools;
youth choirs; and workshops leading up to performances alongside
leading regional and national musicians.
NYMAZ is one of a national network of 21 zones established by Youth Music since 2001.
NYMAZ works very hard through its partners to inspire young people
through quality music making. If your organisation or company feel that
they would like to become involved with the Zone, please contact us - we would be pleased to hear from you!
