City of Leeds Youth Music

We understand that a local lockdown for Leeds will be announced later this evening (Friday 25th September). We have not made a snap decision regarding this week’s earlier messages about returning to rehearsals, but are waiting to hear what the specific guidance is later today. We would encourage parents of CLYM members to let us know how via email you and your child are thinking and feeling about the plans you have already been sent in light of the announcement to be made later today.

We will be making a decision over the weekend and the early part of next week based on any specific guidance given later today and we will send an update to everyone once we have come to a decision. Thank you for your continued support for youth music in Leeds.

Do you sing or play an instrument? You could join one of our music groups for young people in Leeds!

ArtForms is proud to manage City of Leeds Youth Music (CLYM) Groups on behalf of Leeds Music Education Partnership. These ensembles offer the highest level of music-making opportunities to young people in Leeds aged 19 and under.
