huge gap between the musical education of 'haves' and 'no'

A study commissioned by the charity Independent EMI Music Sound Foundation, which is very uneven expansion of the musical experience of children in classes of 132 English primary schools surveyed earlier this year. Some have several specialists in elementary music and many instruments. Others have not a single musician on the staff and all the instruments. Four in ten of the leaders interviewed said they did not have a specialized music school.

Government recently commissioned a study of music education. In his statement, Darren Henley, managing director Classic FM, has recommended that all elementary students must have access to a specialist music teacher. He says the amount of time devoted to music in most of the initial course of teacher training is inadequate.

After this report, the education secretary, Michael Gove, has promised to end the division between the musical and the richest children in disadvantaged areas. He said a national plan for music education to be published this year and announced that £ 82.5m would be given to music services across England in 2011-12. This figure is however exactly the same amount received by local authorities in 2010-11 and does not account for inflation.
