Just like a normal passport can chart your journey around the world, Youth Music’s Passport to Music is being designed to record the musical journeys of children and young people.

The second round of the Passport to Music programme was held in September with a view to selecting organisations to be formally solicited to apply for the Passport to Music pilot programme. Eight candidates in total presented their plans to a Panel of Music Education professionals and Youth Music Staff.  Four pilots have been solicited:

• Leeds Artforms
• Sound Conections / Tower Hamlets Arts and Music Education Service
• JUMPS - led by Sound Sense in Somerset
• Cambridge Music Service

The Passport will help remove the barriers that children and young people face which can prevent them from making music. Youth Music is leading the development of the Passport as part of its commitment to the Music Manifesto. The scheme will combine a physical passport which children will be given, with an interactive website. The website will provide children and young people with a safe place to record and document their music and track their musical achievement. It also will act as a search engine through which children and young people will be able to identify music making opportunities available to them in their area.
