The overstretched music tuition service in Dumfries and Galloway has been boosted after it was agreed to employ another 2.25 full-time equivalent tutors.
This will help address a waiting list of over 400 pupils across the region who are queuing up for free additional lessons promised by the Scottish Government in guitar, strings, and other instruments.
However, there is still a question mark over whether the additional music tuition programme can be sustained longer term because no commitment has been made yet by the Scottish Government on future funding.
