 The AMBER Music Awards are grants that help pay for music lessons, music therapy sessions, the purchase of musical instruments, software and other equipment, concert tickets and travel related to musical activities. These enable blind and partially sighted children – including those with additional disabilities – to access and enjoy music, thereby making a significant difference to their lives. |
