LMN is the starting point for a fulfilling and successful career in the music profession.

	There is no space for egos but there is a limitless capacity for development as a reflective musician Gustavo Marques, guitar

We provide young musicians with paid performance opportunities, training and support in professional development at the start of their careers.

Learning to communicate with an audience is an essential part of becoming a musician. Working with people whose circumstances restrict or deny their access to live music gives you an invaluable opportunity to develop these skills as well as having a profound impact on your personal and musical development.


Workshop skills are in great demand throughout the music profession and can greatly enhance the breadth and scope of employment for any musician.

Live Music Now works with around 320 musicians each year, providing over 7,000 individual performance opportunities. Benefits to musicians include:

• Professional Experience: planning, performing, programming; developing the range of music you perform. This is invaluable training for dealing with your own bookings
• Development of communication skills - a 'must' nowadays for musicians wanting to make a career out of music performance
• Personal Experience: meeting a wide variety of people in different settings which develops your personal awareness and the confidence to cope in any situation
• A chance to reconnect with the reason you became a musician after years of focusing on technique and discover for yourself the power of music as therapy.

LMN teaches you skills to enhance your performance that you didn't even know you needed. Helen Paskins,clarinet

The support has been second to none. Daniela Lehner, mezzo-soprano
