What are Music Hubs? Music Hubs are a key recommendation in the government�s National Plan for Music Education � � The Importance of Music� which was published in November 2011. The Arts Council states that Hubs �will be a collection of organisations working in a local area, to create joined up music education provision for children and young people, both in and out of school. Music Education Hubs will build on existing music services�. Hubs which are successful in obtaining the funding will need to deliver four �core� roles, and will also be expected to obtain other funding in order to deliver three �extension� roles. Values of the hub - Partnership: with mutuality, transparency and effective communication - Inclusion: ensuring equality for all children and young people, regardless of background or circumstance - High Quality: through CPD, reflective practice and ongoing monitoring and evaluation - Respect: for all types of music making, professional and for the choices of children, parents, carers and teachers - Diversity: recognising and embracing a breadth of music genres - Responsive: to the needs of children and the wider community - We recognise that music takes place everywhere � both informal and formal venues from youth centres to garages, school practice rooms to village halls. Aims of our hub - All children and young people have the chance to learn, enjoy and appreciate a wide range of music making opportunities - To develop children and young people�s broader learning and skills development through music making - To ensure that all children and young people have access to high quality information, advice and guidance about progression opportunities - To support children and young people in playing an active role in the musical culture in Cornwall - To continue to build the skills and expertise of a music education workforce across Cornwall - To develop and secure partnerships which will ensure a high quality, broad and inclusive offer to children and young people - To improve equality of access to instruments, music making and performing opportunities regardless of background or circumstance - To provide a robust, sustainable, vibrant and cohesive music education plan for Cornwall Core roles are to provide: - Weekly learning of instruments through Whole Class ensembles for a minimum of a term (but ideally a year) for every child aged 5-18 - Opportunities to play in ensembles and perform - Clear progression routes which are available and affordable to all young people - Regular singing opportunities including choirs and vocal ensembles for every pupil as a result of a singing strategy Extension roles are to provide: - CPD for school staff, particularly to help deliver curriculum music, as well as leadership - An instrument loan service (discounted or free for those on low incomes) - Access to large-scale/high-quality music experiences for pupils via professional musicians/venues � may include publicising opportunities available to schools, parents/carers, pupils. - Hubs can provide services directly or link schools to other providers.
