Details
The national plan for music education sets out the government’s vision to enable all children and young people in England to:
- learn to sing, play an instrument and create music together
- have the opportunity to progress their musical interests and talents, including professionally
The plan sets out how we will achieve this vision by 2030, emphasising the importance of partnerships between education settings, music hubs, music organisations working with young people and the music industry.
It builds on the model music curriculum and the original national plan for music education, published in 2011.
The school music development plan: summary template is available to support schools in publishing their development plan.
Information for parents and young people on what the national plan for music education means for children and young people is also available.
