'It's a real special bond when you know it's totally yours, it doesn't belong to anyone else, no one else has ever played it, so it sort of responds to you as a player as it grows.'

Ahead of our Youth Guitar Day and Guitar amnesty, we asked our Head of Guitar Helen Sanderson about one of her favourite guitars 🎸

Your guitar could make a world of difference. Tag a friend who has a spare guitar and let’s make this a note-worthy cause ⬇️

‘Mae’n deimlad braf gwybod mai dim ond chi sy’n berchen ar y gitâr. Does neb arall erioed wedi’i chwarae felly mae’n ymateb i chi fel chwaraewr wrth i chi chwarae.’

Cyn ein Diwrnod Gitâr Ieuenctid a'n Amnest Gitâr, fe ofynnon ni i'n Pennaeth Gitâr Helen Sanderson am un o'i hoff gitarau 🎸

Chamber Musician Elliot Kempton graduated from RWCMD in 2022 with a BMus Strings.

‘I feel incredibly fortunate to have studied at the Royal Welsh College. This place prepared me brilliantly for the profession, especially through the chamber music opportunities, where I developed my love for quartet playing. The College really helped me discover what I can bring to music.’

‘There’s something really special about the College. The working environment, amazing teachers, masses of opportunities, and you can’t find facilities like this anywhere else. When I graduated, I had a well-rounded view of music and a new confidence in my playing, something the College definitely nurtures.’

Cerddor siambr graddiodd Elliot Kempton o CBCDC yn 2022 gyda gradd BMus (Anrh).

‘Rwy’n teimlo’n hynod ffodus fy mod wedi astudio yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru. Fe wnaeth y lle hwn fy mharatoi’n wych ar gyfer y proffesiwn, yn enwedig drwy’r cyfleoedd cerddoriaeth siambr, lle datblygais fy nghariad at chwarae mewn pedwarawdau. Fe wnaeth y Coleg fy helpu i ddarganfod yr hyn y gallaf ei gyfrannu at gerddoriaeth.’

‘Mae rhywbeth arbennig iawn am y lle hwn. Yr amgylchedd gwaith, athrawon rhyfeddol, llu o gyfleoedd, ac nid oes cyfleusterau tebyg i’w cael yn unman arall. Pan wnes i raddio, roedd gen i olwg gyflawn ar gerddoriaeth a hyder newydd yn fy chwarae, rhywbeth mae’r Coleg yn bendant yn ei feithrin.’

Rydym yn cydnabod y pryderon a godwyd gan Gelfyddydau Cenedlaethol Ieuenctid Cymru, ac yn edrych ymlaen at weithio gyda’n partneriaid a Llywodraeth Cymru i ddod o hyd i’ratebion ar gyfer creu sector celfyddydau cynaliadwy sy’n cefnogi pobl ifanc ledled Cymru.

Mae Cymru yn wynebu argyfwng celfyddydau ieuenctid oherwydd tanariannu cronig, gan beryglu cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc a dyfodol diwylliannol y genedl. Mae Celfyddydau Cenedlaethol Ieuenctid Cymru yn annog Llywodraeth Cymru i flaenoriaethu buddsoddi yn y celfyddydau ieuenctid fel rhywbeth hanfodol ar gyfer iechyd, addysg a lles cymunedol.
