VULNERABLE young people are to benefit from a £60,000 boost to help them make music.
The MusicXpress2 music technology project has been awarded a grant from the National Foundation of Youth Music and The Paul Hamblyn Trust.
MusicXpress2 is run by the Wiltshire Youth Arts Project and targets at risk youngsters aged between 13 and 21 and aims to build up a music program open to young people across the county.
The grant will allow holiday courses to be held at the Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford on Avon and at Salisbury College.
Outreach programmes will also take music out into the wider community.
Those targeted will include excluded students, young offenders, people with learning difficulties, the disabled and those at risk from rural isolation.
