Access to Music: York is located at the Jam Factory, a commercial music studio which has been adapted and equipped in order to provide a attractive teaching and learning environment. York itself has a vibrant music scene that embraces both popular and dance music scenes.

The centre is in its sixth year and continues to generate a positive learning culture fostered by a small but committed team of tutors offering excellent pastoral support. The centre is in touch with the heart of the local community and promotes a wide range of gigs and other events in the city.

The centre is closely involved in York’s Music Live and tutors regularly represent ATM as judges at band and acoustic competitions.
