UCan Play is proud to have played a part in supporting the Protect Music Education campaign being led by the Incorporated Society of Musicians. This campaign has resulted in two good pieces of news for music education funding in the UK today: an increase of £18m of funding for music education hubs in 2015-16 and a commitment from the Government to ensure that Local Authorities retain the right to use their Educational Services Grant for music education should they so wish. These two announcements are to be welcomed at a time when music education is severely under threat from various other funding cuts.
