Volunteers will also be provided with specialist training, induction, support and advice throughout, plus the chance to gain an Arts Award and attend music masterclasses and workshops.

Opportunities available on the scheme include peer music advisers, apprenticeships, shadow artists, office volunteers, youth advisory board, youth consultants and event volunteers.
