Youth Music launched a £1m initiative that put specific musical instruments into the hands of over 5,000 children.
The 'Endangered & Protected Species' programme tackled the problem of the falling numbers of young people taking up, and continuing to play, six instruments - namely, the Bassoon, Double Bass, French Horn, Oboe, Trombone and Tuba/Euphonium.
