Arts Council England, on behalf of the DfE, has unveiled 41 new music Hub Lead Organisations (the announcement of HLOs for London South West and South Yorkshire is coming soon). Currently, music hubs are partnerships of schools, local authorities, community groups, music organisations, industry and more, and soon all this activity will be coordinated by HLOs.
The HLOs have each been allocated a share of £76 million from the DfE to support their work. In addition, each will receive a portion of the £25 million Capital Grant for purchasing musical instruments, equipment and technology, which includes software and hardware.
Music technology plays a vital role in the creative industries, and it is great to see the DfE and ACE recognise the importance of supporting hubs, schools and students with the latest technology. This – especially in relation to DAWs – requires investment.
