| description: | Major Music is an exciting charity offering young people musical opportunities in the Vale of Glamorgan. Major Music was originally established in February 2000 by Phil Kirkham and Dave Roberts in order to satisfy the considerable interest amongst young people in the Vale of Glamorgan - both male and female, in learning modern instruments, vocals and "DJ-ing" skills. Major Music gained charity status on 27th September 2004. Although we initially catered for 11 - 18 year olds, on Tuesday evenings between 7pm and 9pm at Llantwit Major Youth Centre in the Vale of Glamorgan, we received funding in 2007 from Russell Downe, the ex-Mayor of Llantwit Major to launch Minor Music. The Minor Music sessions are aimed at 8 - 11 year olds and run from 6pm - 6.45 pm every Tuesday evening. Major Music provides young people with access to a variety of musical instruments including guitars, drums and pianos, as well as providing musical tutors, vocal coaches and mentors. We have our own recording studio at Llantwit Major Youth Centre that will be made available to other young people, community groups and other organisations across the Vale of Glamorgan. However, as a charity we are constantly looking for new revenue sources and financial support. We have partners from a multitude of businesses and organisations including the Vale of Glamorgan Youth Service, Filco Supermarkets, Red Dragon Radio, COS, EST Buses Ltd, 106.3 Bridge FM, Celtica Radio, npower, WDA, Creative Rural Communities and the Welsh Assembly Government. We are also proud to announce a sponsorship with Roland UK, one of the world leaders in the design, manufacture and distribution of electronic musical instruments. If you are not familiar with our charity and your first contact with us is online, we would love to hear what you want from a young peoples music organisation in the Vale of Glamorgan! |
