Details
The vision of ‘The national plan for music education’ is to enable children from all backgrounds and every part of England to:
- have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument
- make music with others
- learn to sing
- have the opportunity to progress to the next level of excellence
As a result the policy should help to improve the equality of music educational opportunities for all pupils, regardless of race, gender, where they live, their levels of musical talent, parental income, whether they have special educational needs or disabilities, and whether they are looked after children.
