NYMAZ Music Ambassadors
Are you aged 14-25 living in North Yorkshire?
Passionate about MUSIC?
Want your voice to be heard?
Become a NYMAZ Music Ambassador, and have a say in the music opportunities on offer in North Yorkshire!
NYMAZ is a charity that works with organisations around the county to bring exciting music-making opportunities to children and young people. We are looking for motivated young people aged 14-25 to join our programme called NYMAZ Music Ambassadors.
Ambassadors will be invited to:
- have their voice heard on issues affecting young people;
- help spread the word about local music opportunities;
- attend social events and gatherings;
- take part in music training and workshops;
- perform their own music.
Anybody aged 14-25 and living in North Yorkshire can sign up to become a NYMAZ Music Ambassador, and there are no costs or particular level of musical experience required. All we ask is that you love music, and want to make a difference!
As an Ambassador, you will be invited to meetings around the county, gaining access to music industry professionals who can advise you on music careers, getting your music heard, where you can improve your music-making and loads more! Have an idea for a music project or event? Bring along your ideas and NYMAZ might be able to help you make it happen! YOU will help shape the programme, and the way NYMAZ makes decisions, by contributing your ideas and opinions at the sessions, through online surveys and at events.
Your voice matters, and we want to hear it!
