Music Education and the White Paper

andylove2011 · 01-19-2011, 07:10 PM

The only conclusion I can draw from an analysis of the White Paper today is that Music will not be a core subject in the next version of the National Curriculum.

The results of this are potentially catostrophic. It will mean the end of a systematic, coherent and developmental music education for all pupils whatever the Henley Review recommends.

I know that things may not be perfect now. But they will get a lot worse. If you care about a quality music education for all our young people I suggest you start campaigning hard.

What's your reading?
