However, the most valuable things cannot be bought with money. The greatest trouble is not the emptiness of the purse but the emptiness of the soul. And of this we have got more than our share.’

Floor Plan Find your way around the RNCM

So wrote the great Hungarian music educator, Zoltán Kodály, in 1929. Over 80 years later, with a UK General Election looming, the current mood in the music education world ranges from quiet optimism to nervous uncertainty. ‘Emptiness of the purse’ is a unifying concern. Whichever party is in power after May, the economic climate will surely cast a shadow over future funding strategies. Organisations in the sector are already jostling for position in anticipation of

reorganisation and re-prioritisation – or, in some cases, merger or cull.

The Shadow Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, referred in a recent and much discussed speech to the ‘blizzard’ of music and arts education initiatives which have been introduced in recent years. Whatever your politics, this is a fair metaphor. (Of course, the subtext is that if the

The Federation of Music Services has just published an independent research report demonstrating the efficacy of the Wider Opportunities programme; a new government would surely be foolish to undermine this work.

But some projects, though no doubt well-meaning, are conceptually nebulous and of questionable value (the fuzzy Tune In: Year of Music is a case in point). They should go. musiclearninglive! aims to contribute by bringing everyone in the diverse music education community together; to

provide inspiration and help remedy ‘emptiness of the soul’, not just of educators but of all those whose lives we are striving to transform through music. The English choral tradition, represented superbly at this conference by Ripon Cathedral Choir, inspired Kodály when he visited England in the early part of the 20th century; his impact on Hungarian music education and music education worldwide was – and continues to be – profound.

There are challenging times ahead for music education in the UK. Will Music Services be allowed to maintain their vital independence? What will happen to Sing Up and other projects when the present funding comes to an end? Will music’s place in the National Curriculum be reinforced or sidelined?

It is crucial to recognise that any period of change can also be a time of great opportunity. Everyone in the sector needs to grasp this with both hands. Could any credible new Government fail to listen to our collective voice?

Having told us that the last ten years have been extremely good for music education with a range of initiatives being developed, all focusing on music, the politicians now tell us that this is a time for cuts and change.

In a period of great uncertainty, what can the music education sector do to ensure good quality music education is still available to children? What are the things which really matter and how can we work together as a sector to make sure these survive no matter which party is in government come 7 May 2010?

1010–1120: Session 2 Options l What Are You Listening For? Tim Garland’s Storms/Nocturnes Trio

RNCM Theatre

The play on words in the title of this session, run by Tim Garland and his Storms/Nocturnes Trio, is to highlight how certain types of music become immensely enjoyable after you appreciate what you’re listening out for, just as tennis players can still love baseball if they can get a ‘handle on the game’ even though the rules are different.

Not a perfect analogy but when young people listen to jazz or New Music, it doesn't have to end in blank stares!
