A music manifesto aiming to reverse two decades of decline in music education was launched last week by the Government and a coalition of 70 organisations. It promises music tuition for every pupil, to give every young person access to a range of musical experiences and opportunities, broaden their interests and skills, identify and nurture talented young musicians, develop a world-class workforce in music education, and improve support structures for music making. Schools standards minister David Milliband pledged to continue with the ring-fenced Music Standards Fund until 2008, guaranteeing almost 180m. For details see www.musicmanifesto.co.uk.
