Youth Music calls for music curriculm changes

Researchers monitoring the progress of a Youth Music programme linking community music organisations with school music departments has concluded that students are being "taught in a way that does not connect with the music they’re actually interested in".  Evidence that children’s experience of music at school is “often disconnected from their musical lives” outside the lessons has prompted Youth Music CEO Matt Griffiths to write an open letter to Education Minister Nick Gibb, calling for a revised curriculum for teaching music.
