Music Mark has released the findings of its commissioned research project into current environmental sustainability practices in music hubs and services.
The research, conducted by UCL’s Department of Culture, Communication and Media, aimed to map current practices, identify barriers, and highlight good practices across the sector.
Music Mark list the five key points that emerge in the report:
The report identified ‘creative, environmentally-themed teaching and learning activities as the most common form of sustainability engagement in evidence. These included concerts, composition projects and the use of recycled instruments.
‘Youth engagement was seen as vital, and many projects successfully integrated environmental themes with musical learning.
‘Barriers included time, funding, staff capacity, and uncertainty about how to deliver meaningful content. There was strong demand for continuing professional development (CPD), shared resources, and case studies.’
