Transition
Overall aim:
Improving opportunities for children to continue with their music making after they move to secondary school
Key messages:
- Music projects can help children with the transition from primary to secondary school.
- 10-12 - it is a key time for children in their musical development and as consumers of music
- 10-12 - it is also when children start making choices, asserting their identity and music is a ‘safe place’ to do this
Rationale
Youth Music is targeting the 10-12 years age group as this is the key time when children give up on their music-making.
Youth Music has observed that many children give up because the practices, infrastructures and strategy needed to support music-making at this crucial stage is not always in place.
Youth Music is investing significant funds to address this issue.
