Review of music education
All children should be given the chance to learn an instrument
An has been launched today. Led by Darren Henley, Managing Director of Classic FM, the review will look at improving the access and opportunities young people have to experience and understand music.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a sad fact that too many children in state schools are denied the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument,鈥� said , Secretary of State for Education. 鈥淓vidence suggests that learning an instrument can improve numeracy, literacy and behaviour. But more than that, it is simply unfair that the joy of musical discovery should be the preserve of those whose parents can afford it.鈥�
鈥淚mmersion in music can lead to improved social skills and educational success, with behaviour, well-being, confidence, team working and concentration skills all proven to improve with good music provision,鈥� said , Minister for Communication, Culture and the Creative Industries.
