The National Open Youth Orchestra (NOYO) is a pioneering inclusive orchestra where brilliant 11-25 year-old disabled and non-disabled musicians rehearse and perform together. It promotes inclusion by performing exciting music written and arranged for a diverse group of musicians and instruments. It also works with venues to produce accessible concerts.
The orchestra changes every year, with up to twenty young musicians coming together to present a broad programme of contemporary classical music. All come through the ranks of five Regional NOYO Ensembles run in London, Bristol, Bournemouth, Birmingham and Cardiff in partnership with leading arts organisations.

South West Music School is a charity working with talented young instrumentalists, singers and composers aged 8 – 20 years in the South West of England. Due to the geographical nature of the South West, they are not building based but are a ‘virtual’ school working with young people on an individual basis in their local area. In addition, their students come together on a regular basis to collaborate, create, learn new skills and perform together.
Weymouth Music Academy offers one-to-one drum and singing lessons at their purpose-built studios.
Lessons are adapted to each student whether you just want to have fun or work towards graded exams.
