About the Music in Action Young Artists Programme
The goal of the Music in Action Young Artist Development Programme (MAYAP) is to nurture the most talented young artists through training and performance opportunities.
The MAYAP was created to identify and develop talented young artists in the realm of classical music. The programme looks to help trained and develop a new generation of celebrated Jersey performers, as well as conductors, to learn to perform at the highest standards around the world. In recognition and gratitude for their generous support.

While some resources exist for young artist training programs, the MAYAP is unparalleled in Jersey for the quality and scope of resources available to its participants. Throughout their instruction, young artists can draw upon the pool of world-renowned talent available to Music in Action, including current and former artists, internationally recognized coaches, and master teachers.
Participants have access to rehearsals and practice sessions, where they can observe classical musicians preparing their roles for the current projects of Music in Action. They are also presented with the opportunity to participate in Music in Action productions, in supporting roles and will get solo opportunities.
It is expected that artists are likely to be 13 to 18 years old however this is not a hard and fast rule and if there is need from a younger candidate or an elder musician then this will be considered.
Each year depending on the funding available Music in Action will select up to 4 artists, depending on funding available.
Music in Action will interview applicants and determine how they can be assisted.
