If you have an interest in ensuring quality music opportunities are provided for young people in East Dunbartonshire, the Leisure and Culture Trust is looking to hear from you. The Trust has recently been successful in securing funding from Creative Scotland’s Youth Music Initiative to form a Youth Music Forum in East Dunbartonshire. The forum will be established through an initial mapping of music provision highlighting the wealth of quality opportunities we currently offer and new wider opportunities to support young people to engage in music activity. Following the music provision audit a series of events and professional development opportunities will be offered to teachers, music tutors, music groups and young people.
