MTA, Music Mark and ISM have released a joint statement on the #CanDoMusic site after Friday’s release of the MMC.
The #CanDoMusic campaign was launched by the ISM, MTA and Music Mark to protect music in schools. It has been highly influential in the creation of the MMC through participation in the consultation process and supplying research, with both MTA and Music Mark represented on the Expert Panel. Collectively, #CanDoMusic looks forward to working with the membership of each organisation to interpret and implement this guidance.
MTA President, Simon Toyne said:
‘Our partnership with the ISM and Music Mark has made a substantial impact over the last year with our #CanDoMusic campaign. This continues with our response to the Model Music Curriculum. This is a significant moment when we can come together in partnership, sharing our expertise, experience, drive and passion (and, of course, those legendary problem-solving skills of music teachers), to make a difference to the lives of so many children. We want the Summer Term to be busy, with music teachers, headteachers, hub leaders, and all passionate about music education, coming together to bring the MMC to life, enabling all children in all schools to access a quality music curriculum.’
