With an incoming government that is yet to announce how it will address and dramatically improve the current funding landscape for the arts in the UK, as Co-founder and CEO of Restore the Music, I offer up a blueprint for a successful funding model for music education in state schools with underprivileged communities.
I co-founded Restore The Music to address the startling inequity in music provision in schools in impoverished and underserved areas, where children from marginalised communities have inadequate access or support in learning a musical instrument and engaging with music. This is especially relevant in current times following the significant cuts to music education and the arts.
