Arts Council England warmly welcomes Darren Henley’s review of music education. We are pleased music education is recognised as an important aspect of children and young people’s lives and see the review as a catalyst to increasing the opportunities and quality of music education in and out of school. We are particularly delighted to see the recommendations around music’s role in the curriculum, the ring-fencing of central government funds for music education, and the emphasis placed on progression and talent development.
