Our specialised training pathway has been developed to foster the musical growth of Australia’s most talented young instrumentalists, from extraordinary school-aged musicians through budding young practitioners to those who are about to embark on a professional career. To aid budding musicians, composers, arts administrators, and music journalists between the ages of 12 and 30, AYO annually offers customised training and performance programmes.
