As part of its push for education ‘recovery’, the Department for Education (DfE) has published a 36-page document of non-statutory guidance for school leaders and staff who are responsible for the curriculum.
Within ‘Teaching a broad and balanced curriculum for education recovery’, the section on music (pp.27-28) states that the ‘key priority’ is a curriculum which allows students from Reception to Year 9 to return to singing and playing instruments, alongside using music technology.
It is pointed out that practical music making should be done in line with the DfE’s current COVID-19 guidance, as well as with the guidance issued by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
