Teenage Engineering’s innovative handheld music devices are about to transform children's early music making experiences thanks to the Scottish Government’s backing of the Youth Music Initiative (YMI) through Creative Scotland. Applications for Access to Music Making and Strengthening Youth Music funds open Thursday 3 November, with a deadline of 2pm, Thursday 8 December. The announcement also coincides with the publication of new research findings into the 2021-2022 YMI initiative which highlights how it continues to address inequality by forging and sustaining partnerships with third sector organisations to support children and young people most in need.
