Major Boost for Music Education in Norfolk
Every school child in Norfolk is to have the chance to learn a musical instrument from next year, after a successful bid to boost music education in the county. Norfolk County Council has been granted £2 million from the Arts Council to develop a Music Education Hub, which will bring together orchestras, choirs, schools, teachers and performers to boost music learning in all Norfolk schools.
The latest funding will mean the service can develop even further, with the aim of reaching every child in the county. It is one of 122 hubs to receive funding nationwide.
The funding will cover four key areas:
The weekly learning of instruments through whole class ensembles, for the minimum of a term, for every child aged five to 18.
Regular singing opportunities including choirs and vocal ensembles for every pupil as a result of a singing strategy.
More opportunities for children to play in ensembles.
Clear progression routes which are available and affordable to all young people
