Is there a measurement for music potential? And can we accurately measure that at from the age of 11? Ralph Allwood shares his thoughts below, but I would also be interested in what others think? 🤔 How would you measure music potential in a young person?

I see this in both my professional and personal life. Music can be the intervention that strengthens, regulates, opens up the possibility’s of empathy, a sense of community, raises self esteem and can open up emotional dialogue. In my own opinion these musical interventions should be available within SEND and main stream settings for all SEND students, including neurodivergence. An example of this is scientifically studied on the Clem Burke Drumming Project. https://lnkd.in/gimGqidp

The Eurovision Song Contest is over for another year, but let's not overlook the vital role of music education in nurturing musical talent and shaping vibrant music industries. The success of the Swedish music industry is often attributed to a strong foundation in music education. Here in the UK recent survey data suggests that almost a quarter of secondary schools are falling short of meeting the government's expectation of an hour of classroom music each week for Key Stage 3. A Teacher Tapp survey of senior leaders in state secondary schools revealed that 16% teach music for less than an hour a week. Additionally, 2% do not offer music lessons and, 5% utilise a "carousel" system. This often results in teaching music for only part of the year. The role of music teachers has never been so important. #MusicEducation #KeyStage3 #UKSchools
