Renfrewshire music project hits the right note with massive celebration

Hundreds of educators and musicians descended upon a Renfrewshire town recently for a celebration to mark a special anniversary for an initiative that has seen hundreds of thousands of young people across Scotland learn how to make music.

Johnstone played host to the Youth Music Initiative (YMI) 20th anniversary event last Thursday which welcomed more than 200 teachers, practitioners, community projects and young musicians to the town hall to participate in a day of musical performances and discussions about music education.

Launched in 2003 through Creative Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government, YMI aims to break down the barriers to music making by offering free access to children and young people across Scotland.
