Question

What is the proposed timescale for delivering the National Music Service?

Answer

Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language

Work has been progressed with a range of key stakeholders in developing the model for the National Music Service, in line with the commitment set out in our Programme for Government.

It is planned that the National Music Service will operate initially over the three-year period 2022-23 to 2024-25, with delivery of support provision to schools and settings commencing in September 2022. This is supported by an additional £3m per annum in the Welsh Government budget over this period. The National Music Service will also be supported by a National Plan for Music Education in Wales, scheduled for publication in spring 2022.

The vision for the National Music Service is to create a sustainable pathway for music education in Wales.
