The Arts Council England launch 43 NEW Music Hubs
Back
The National Plan for Music Education, ‘The power of music to change lives’, set out how the government plans to build on the success of Music Hub programme through expanded, more strategic Music Hubs.
Between April and June 2024, The Arts Council England ran an additional investment process to appoint new Hub Lead Organisations for the London — South West and South Yorkshire Music Hubs on behalf of the Department for Education.
43 new Hub Lead Organisations will coordinate music education in every local area through strategic partnerships. They will also receive an additional £25m to invest in new musical instruments, equipment and technology, including instruments for children and young people with special education needs or disabilities.
This investment will help Hubs to deliver music lessons in schools and outside of schools. It will support them to run music ensembles, provide music training for teachers and more.
