This conference looked at next steps for music education following the publication of the Government’s Model Music Curriculum and the Ofsted subject research review.
It was also a timely opportunity to discuss the curriculum’s implementation, the likely impact on teaching standards in schools, and funding priorities for its delivery.
With the conference taking place in the context of the ongoing pandemic and the UK leaving the EU, delegates also considered the wider impact of music education on the creative sector and the opportunities presented for creating a talent pipeline for the music industry, as well as the sector’s recovery from the pandemic.
We are pleased to have been able to include keynote contributions from:
- Mark Phillips, National Lead for Music, Ofsted - on improving standards in music
- Bridget Whyte, Chief Executive, Music Mark - on immediate priorities for music education
