We're asking you to support TYO's access initiatives, which support more young Tasmanians to experience to the benefits and joys of music participation. Because music is for life! 

Social connectedness, wellbeing, improved educational outcomes, skills and leadership development, resilience… Many years of research tell us that musical involvement provides multiple and lifelong benefits to young people. We see these benefits in action every week at Tasmanian Youth Orchestras (TYO), where we offer instrumental and choral music education, development and performance programs to young Tasmanian musicians and singers aged seven to 25. 

TYO's access initiatives include fees bursaries, Pathways programs and individual tuition scholarships. Together, these initiatives are designed to reduce barriers to musical participation and increase opportunities for more young Tasmanians to have access to sustained musical involvement, skills development and growth.

If you can, please consider supporting TYO access initiatives. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
