8. Youth music Youth music is for younger age group. Youth music also helps other organizations. Youth music organizes projects for young and old people to enjoy. “Every year, we provide more than 90,000 young people with the opportunity to make music, helping them to overcome the challenges they face in their lives. Our music projects support young people to develop their creative and social skills, make positive contributions to their community and improve their wellbeing.” Youth music is a great organization to go to of you’re a child. The way it looks they will do their best to provide as much help to children and make them smile. They will help the child to overcome their fears and their disabilities.

9. Sonic Arts Network Sonic Arts Network is a organization aimed at older groups of teenagers and adults. Sonic Arts Network has been established in 1979. “aimed to enable both audiences and practitioners to engage with the art of sound through a programme of festivals, events, commissions and education projects.” Sonic Arts Network has emerged with society for the promotion of new music. I think that sound and music is a great way to learn how to play an instrument or learn to use music technology. Sound and music has a lot of potential, it also supports some festivals and events.
