The Welsh government’s National Endowment for Music has been launched to enable more young people to access musical opportunities.
Wales’ education secretary Kirsty Williams said the endowment would help ensure that all “young people, from whatever background, can develop their talents and skills through music”. She added: “Having experiences outside the classroom is a sure way to help children build confidence and discover what inspires them. In time, this endowment will provide extra chances for young people to access important education experiences.”
The Welsh government claimed the endowment would support local authority music services which “have been badly affected by the austerity imposed by the Westminster government”.
