Youth Music’s Plug into Music (PIM) programme has been an important and innovative initiative to provide a range of opportunities for children and young people to use music technology to express themselves musically. Launched early in 2001, Plug into Music aimed to provide a focus for those organisations using technology creatively to deliver music-making projects to children and young people, and to support the emerging practices and projects that Youth Music had seen developing through its other funding programmes.“… Case studies received either an extended telephone interview(s) or a visit. These proved to be both interesting and enjoyable: case study project leaders were uniformly helpful, open and enthusiastic about their work.
In three of the visits it was possible to observe some of the original staff working with the participants. This was extremely fruitful. In one case (Get Sorted Academy - Rotherham) it was possible to speak with some of the trainees, who had since moved on to permanent posts with the organisation, and to see the funded equipment being put to excellent use in programmes for socially excluded young people.”
