Access to music education is increasingly unequal. Pupils in deprived areas are less likely to receive consistent music provision in school (research shows 1 in 5 classes have no regular music lesson). Almost half (42%) of secondary schools no longer offer GCSE Music, meaning pupils are reliant on their own learning if they wish to continue making music after Year 9 – something that is incredibly difficult without a solid grounding in music theory.
Our Schools Programme brings weekly music lessons to almost 8,500 primary school children, with our Kodály-based curriculum giving even the most disadvantaged pupils the chance to receive the social, emotional & educational benefits music can bring: boosting resilience, confidence and self-esteem, as well as providing the key foundational knowledge that will unlock the door and enable them to go on to further musical learning if they wish.
