Julian Lloyd Webber joins pleas for music to survive Gove's exam shake-up

musicians warns new proposals say many children never play an instrument "

extraordinary musicians and music teachers, including the influential Association of Schools of Music (SMA), have joined forces to express their dismay at the impact of training Ebacc expected. In a public letter to the association says that musicians who work with secondary schools are concerned that "recent government proposals mean the end of the teaching of creative subjects."

ADM is seeking guarantees of Education Secretary Michael Gove that Britain's "world class" musical education will be protected when the new grade, giving priority to the basic subjects is introduced. It is supported by world-renowned cellist and music activist Julian Lloyd Webber, Jeremy Pritchard, bassist with the band winning Everything Everything and lecturer at the School of Music Guild Hall.

combination attack following observations made last week by Deborah Annetts, Chief Executive of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, who called the Ebacc a "short-sighted attack on the wholesale musical education school "that" will not only emasculate our first system of music education class, but also all our creative economy. "

Garnet Dr James, president of the National Association of Music Educators, also urges that the planned changes to protect a balanced diet rich high school, including the practical study of music. Lloyd Webber, who campaigned for greater access to music education, said he feared a generation of talented British students may now be lost.

"Some of these children will never play an instrument, so you never know how you have a natural talent," he said. "When I went to school Secondary Royal College of Music, back in the 60s and early 70s, more than half of the non-state students. It is no longer the case. "

The cellist said that classical music is increasingly seen as a middle class, privileged activity. "Music should be a fundamental right of all of us, but more than simply teach children in fee-paying schools or parents who can afford the classes, then the idea that more is as will become elite. "


Jeremy Pritchard of Everything Everything Mercury Prize nominated group, said she has taught music in the public school and continued to study the subject at university. "I do not think that creative subjects removed. Schools need to focus on correcting problems in the core subjects and all will be forgotten. You can not separate education this way. These issues intersect."

Pritchard asked if the government was not happy with Britain's preeminence in the theater and music: "Maybe they want public services, I think ignorance voluntary, because we have a culture here that you do not get in many other places. "

O'Hora Ronan, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, also supports the demands of music teachers and schools highlights the British "position internationally recognized" as a world leader in education music and performance.


"seems quite incomprehensible that the proposed plans Ebacc to introduce the teaching of music is likely to disappear from high school at a time when its importance in the support and development of thought lateral and creative problem solving is more widely recognized than ever, as is its significant therapeutic value, "he said.
