National Award for Talented Young Accordionist - Scotlandby Anna Bodell |
 |
| Thirteen year old accordion player, Alistair Hewitt from Glasgow, a student of The Brian Laurie Paisley Academy, was among 123 outstanding young people to win an award this year from the organisation 'Awards for Young Musicians' (AYM). AYM’s annual Awards Program gives grants of up to £2,000 each year to exceptionally talented young musicians aged between 5 and 17. The funding can be used to support music making in any genre, helping with costs such as buying an instrument, music lessons, course fees and travel. Hester Cockcroft, AYM’s Director said: "Once more we had a very high number of applications for support from young musicians from across the UK, so Alistair should be very proud of his achievement in gaining an award. Music is what defines these young people: it’s central to their life. We’re here to help them progress on their musical journey and give them the best possible chance of fulfilling their potential." |
