Text of Petition
*
We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to
produce an urgent National Plan for Music Education with dedicated central
funding in line with the rest of the UK. This will ensure that affordable
musical instrument and vocal tuition is available as a right for all children
in Wales.
*
The Music Services in Wales are integral to the development of Music Education
as part of the creative curriculum across all domains.
*
The contribution made by the Music Industry and Music Services to the economy
and the well-being of the people of Wales is too important to ignore.
*
Young people in Wales studying music at A-level has halved in 10 years while
GCSE entries have fallen by 40%.
*
Austerity is not an excuse for the Welsh Government to allow the decline of
Music Services. Austerity should be the reason to invest in the equality of
access for all and the sustainability of our communities.
Please
sign this petition to support the campaign to stop the decline of Music
Education in Wales.
