NEW: Every child aged 3-16 in #Wales is going to be offered a free musical instrument as part of the new 'National Music Service'.
It's hoped the plan will help low-income households and those with additional learning needs.

This is the bit on tuition.
“ensure that access to music tuition is not a barrier for learners from low‐income households where
parents and carers could not afford the tuition costs”

Bit disappointed nobody’s made a School Of Rock reference and tagged @jackblack but there we go.
Some people bringing up other budgets in relation to this.
It’ll cost £13.5 mill over the next 3 years after being trebled. £4.5 mill a year.
The Welsh budget is £24.6billion this year… so this will be 0.02% of the budget.
It’s a v small expenditure in the grand scheme.

There are plenty of studies on it, like this one.
“Students who learned a musical instrument were 18% more likely to aim at attending university.”
If this equates to more uni education, it means it’s going to cause economic growth in the long-term.

Another study:
“Our findings suggest that adolescents with music training have better school grades, are more conscientious, open and ambitious. These effects are stronger among adolescents from lower socio-economic status.”
