The main aim of this programme is to create opportunities, over time, for every Key Stage 2 pupil to receive a sustained period of tuition on a musical instrument or to receive specialist vocal tuition. The learning experience will allow every child to have first hand experience of live music, group singing, ensemble playing, performance and composing.
The programme in schools should look to 'normalise' instrumental and vocal learning – so that every child considers him or herself to be a musician. It should provide opportunities for classroom teachers and music specialists to learn from one another by jointly planning and delivering enhanced musical experiences.
