Lancashire Music Service, the lead organisation of the Lancashire Music Hub, has a prestigious partnership with Yamaha, a global leader in musical instruments and audio equipment. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide high-quality music education and resources to young people across Lancashire.

Through this partnership, Lancashire Music Service will gain access to Yamaha’s state-of-the-art instruments, including brass and woodwind instruments, electronic string instruments and percussion equipment. These instruments will significantly enhance the learning experience for our students, providing them with world class resources to develop their musical skills.
Yamaha will also support Lancashire Music Service through workshops, masterclasses, and exclusive events, offering students unique opportunities to learn from industry professionals and gain invaluable insights into the world of music. This initiative has been made possible by the Department for Education's Music Hub Capital Grant for Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology.

This video was created for a landmark concert on the 21st May 2025 where our new Lancashire Yamaha Youth Ambassadors were celebrated. The video captures the moment some of the new ambassadors received their brand new instruments and the excitement that brought.
