All children in Wales will have free access to a musical instrument from September as part of the Welsh government's new music education plan.

Funding for music teaching will triple from £1.5m to £4.5m per annum, for the next three years.

Education Minister Jeremy Miles said the new National Music Service would ensure music was accessible to all children in Wales.

Primary school pupils will also get half a term's tuition by a musician.
