The Young Strings Foundation provides quality violins, violas and cellos on loan to promising young musicians whose development would benefit from access to a more capable instrument.

This form should be completed by a parent or guardian. It is the first stage of our application process and helps us understand the young musician, their current instrument and their circumstances. Before applying, please let the young musician's teacher know that you intend to provide their contact details to YSF.

If we believe we may be able to help, we will contact their teacher independently for a musical reference.
