Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
The National Music Service is fully funded by the Welsh Government, with a significant investment totalling £13 million between 2022 to 2025.The principal focus of the Service’s work is to support every child and young person from the age of 3 to 16 to benefit from opportunities to play a musical instrument, to sing, and to engage in music-making activities. The Service is rolling out a range of provision across Wales, including ‘First Experiences’ and ‘Music Pathways’, which is designed to support learners in all education settings, including special schools.
