Good news for Warwickshire Music Education Hub

The government have just announced a 4 year funding proposal for all Music Education Hubs.

You will be aware that Warwickshire Music is the lead organisation for the Warwickshire Music Hub and this is fantastic news for all young people in Warwickshire as it secures the tremendous range of opportunities on offer to all children through the Hub and its work with partners, schools, parents and young people.

School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said:

"Music and the arts can transform lives and introduce young people to a huge range of opportunities - whether that is learning to play a musical instrument, understanding local heritage or attending a world-famous dance school. We want those opportunities to be open to all, not just the privileged few."

In response to the announcement, Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England said:

"Every child and young person should experience the richness of the arts, no matter what their background. Cultural education helps children develop their knowledge, understanding and skills, and improves their attainment across the school curriculum. This ongoing commitment to invest in high quality cultural education inside and outside of school is good news for children."
