The Music Manifesto is a campaign for improvement in music education that aims to give our children and young people a better musical future. It is focussed on the five aims:

• to provide every young person with first access to a range of music experiences

• to provide more opportunities for young people to deepen and broaden their musical interests and skills

• to identify and nurture our most talented young musicians

• to develop a world class workforce in music education

• to improve the support structures for young people’s music making.

The Government’s Music Manifesto states:

‘Working together we will create a music education system where ongoing, high quality continuing professional development is available to classroom teachers, support staff, LA Music Services and community musicians and delivered locally, regionally or nationally’.

We hope that the resources provided on these pages will support Music teachers throughout Walsall in delivering a "better musical future" for our students.
