Financial Support

We will offer a subsidy  programme for schools as highlighted in the refreshed National Plan for Music Education

“…Under the refreshed plan, Music Hubs will still be expected to provide an offer of Whole Class and/or instrumental lessonsWhole Class Ensemble Tuition [First Access] to their local schools, so that every child can learn an instrument in the class time. Such provision should be aimed at primary schools predominantly (and we would expect it will be delivered mainly at key stage 2). While WCET remains an option, large/small-group instrumental teaching (for example around 10 pupils/one-third of a class in each group) can also be adopted by the school, provided that all children in the class participate…The programme must be designed as high-quality educational offer, with consideration given to the curriculum underpinning of the programme, and should ideally be for a minimum of one year.  It should involve all children in the class…” (NPME pg 54].
