Discover our music education programs designed to inspire and nurture young talent
Our flagship program offering intensive music education during the summer holidays. Designed for primary-aged children, this program provides a fun and engaging introduction to music theory, performance, and ensemble playing.
Our ensemble program that brings together young musicians to perform as a group. This program focuses on developing performance skills, teamwork, and musical excellence through regular rehearsals and performances.
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, our programs are currently operating with reduced capacity. We're working hard to rebuild our community and welcome new participants as we move forward in 2025.
Over 50 years of nurturing musical talent and building community connections
Despite facing challenges from the long-term impact of COVID-19, the Young Music Society has continued to adapt and serve our community. In 2024, we successfully operated a smaller but focused Summer Music School for approximately 40 primary-aged children in a safe, controlled environment.
Our Concert Band program was reformed with dedicated members, though with limited numbers due to ongoing community hesitancy. While we made the difficult decision to transfer our Concert Band program to the Belconnen Musicians Society Inc. in December 2024, this ensures the continuation of ensemble music education in our region.
As we move into 2025, we remain committed to our mission and are actively planning for the future of music education in Canberra. We're exploring new ways to engage with our community and rebuild our programs stronger than ever.
