Nine out of ten schools benefitting from music hubs
More than 700,000 children were taught to play a musical instrument with their class through the 120 music hubs across the country.
A report on the music hubs, which are funded by government and run by Arts Council of England, also shows that in 2016/2017 almost 9 out of 10 schools (89%) benefitted from the support of the music hubs – up from 84% in 2013/2014.
711,241 pupils received whole class ensemble teaching through the hubs, up from 596,820 in 2013/2014 (up 19%), and 182,602 pupils continue to learn an instrument after having had whole class ensemble teaching compared to 166,529 in 2013/14.
Choirs are the single biggest type of music making activity, making up 32% of all ensembles. Other popular types of ensemble include rock bands and woodwind ensembles.
In 2012 the government introduced a new network of music education hubs to support the teaching of music both in and out of school. These hubs are being supported by £300 million between 2016 and 2020.
