Well, we have it from the mouth of no less than Michael Gove, the Minister of Education, himself: "All young people should have the chance to learn an instrument, read music and receive a top quality music education".
In announcing a wide-ranging review of Music Education in the UK, it seems that the government is officially recognising the long-claimed benefits of a musical education, and recognising how much it can contribute to the "Big Society".
OK, so at this stage it's just so much hot air, but it's hot air moving in the right direction !
