Achievement and motivation share a symbiotic relationship, and their connection to enjoyment and wellbeing is well documented in educational psychology. Studies have demonstrated that this connection is particularly evident when young people learn a musical instrument because it provides an indication of progress. It is also accepted that the environment in which students learn has a significant impact on their level of engagement.
This is the driving force behind the Music in Secondary Schools Trust (MiSST). By working with schools to build a culture in which every child learns an instrument, irrespective of family income and home environment, MiSST aims to create a level playing field in which everyone can engage in a rich music education and reap its benefits.
