A Conservative peer will lead a team of experts appointed by government to monitor the success of its plan to boost music education in schools.
Last year, the Department for Education published its non-statutory national plan for music education to 2030.
Ministers would “like” every school to have a “music development plan” by September 2023 at the latest, and schools have also been “asked to offer at least one hour of music curriculum a week”.
It follows the model music curriculum, published in 2021, for key stages 1, 2 and 3.
