The Big A to ZYou are in: Southern Counties > Entertainment > The Big A to Z > Y is for Youth Music ![]() Heroine Hospital playing live Y is for Youth MusicYoung people and music seem to go hand in hand whether it’s music lessons at school, or our first CD collection. But Rhythmix go one step further in music education for young people as coordinator Lucy Stone explains. "We all have rhythm and just because music is everywhere sometimes it’s easy to think it’s accessible to all. But it’s not. Musical instruments are expensive and often not all children have access to music making opportunities. That’s where Rhythmix comes is.” ![]() Safe 13 from Bexhill Rhythmix works across Surrey and Sussex as well as Kent. Since 1999, over 6,000 new opportunities have been offered to children and young people in programmes such as DJ-ing, Rock and Pop, Music Technology, World Music and Composition. Safe 13 are a group from Bexhill who have attended Rhythmix workshops.
