Have your say: letters to the editor, June 2024

Do you have an opinion that you’d like to share? Write to the editor of Music Teacher at music.teacher@markallengroup.com

I read Nathaniel Dye's article (‘What the future might hold’, March 2024) with interest. It is evident that he does a wonderful job in his school and elsewhere. I chair a voluntary charity (Kent and Medway Young Musicians Trust), which helps promising youngsters to afford lessons, instruments, courses etc., so I am very much on the same page. I agree that talent is no respecter of income and am keen for music to be an opportunity for every child. It is good to hear that Labour would actively increase music provision, including adding an arts subject to the EBacc. I applaud their aims.
