Music Hubs & Services
At British Youth Music Theatre, we recognise that there are many wonderful musical theatre groups working in many music hubs and services do excellent work with young people.
We are passionate about helping these groups develop talent, progressing individuals towards a career in music theatre or one of the many related industries.
BYMT would like to help hubs nurture musical theatre talent in their local areas in which ever way is necessary:
helping make musical theatre opportunities clearer and more visible
shedding light on the numerous careers available in musical theatre
working with talented performers to up their skills ready for the next level of training
training musicians in the arts of pit band performing
developing young musical directors, designers and technical staff
encouraging composition and writing from an early age
There are a number of ways hubs can partner with BYMT - To explore your hub’s partnership with BYMT, get in touch with Tim Sandford timsandford@bymt.org
