Click here to read the National Music Plan.
Lots of good and positive words in the National Music Plan which the government has belatedly published this morning: hubs for collaborator and in asking opportunities and sharing good practise; additional training particularly in Primary; suppose words for teachers and praise.... Some very big pledges about funding....
But will it work?
I suspect it is more words than anything concrete. Musicians and music teachers will have to battle with Headteachers and Local Authorities to ensure that music is a priority. Will any funding be ring-fenced? And, in reality, will ring-fencing be anything more than good intentions? When a Head is running low on budget or is needs funding for a science lab will the money to implement the National Music Plan really be safe? Hmmm....
If it works, fab but I'm not holding my breath
