A music education for all children and young people flourishes with the principles of a liberal education. That is, it is neither specialist nor vocational. Rather a component of a general education that expands consciousness of the world and enriches the subjective life.

A little interview I recently done on the benefits of engaging in music policy research.
What are some top tips for engaging with a devolved government? Read this interview with @UniSouthWales researcher @pcarr to find out. tinyurl.com/3djud2nn @SeneddWales @SeneddResearch @welshgocreative @rhi4islwyn

Got my first glance at this today - focusing specifically on popular music education in Wales. Thanks to all of the contributors and also to @GDylanSmith and @Powell_Bryan for giving me the opportunity to edit it. @welshgocreative @WelshGovernment @USWResearch @SeneddWales

Ok first proper read of the #modelmusiccurriculum and it strikes me that it doesn’t really leave any room for student voice and seems very prescriptive. Surely your curriculum should be crafted in response to the environment you find yourself and your students’ interests?

I know doing a word-search on a PDF can be problematic, but I find zero mention of "EBacc" in the #modelmusiccurriculum ? Happy to be proved wrong? For me, the EBacc is one of the impediments preventing greater teaching time for music at KS3 and KS4.

We are right to focus on the current and the future for music education, especially the situation we are currently in. But when planning the "new" or the "different", don't ignore the past. There are many important lessons to be learned from it, not least wheel-reinventing.

Our pupils are surrounded by instant results, fixes, and gratifications. These are counterproductive in preparing them for the journey of life. In The Arts, they have to focus, they have to graft, and they have to fail in order to succeed. The journey & results are unparalleled.
