1/3 The Next Generation
Soweto Kinch delves into music education across the UK and assesses the impact of policy changes and underfunding. With free instrumental tuition being mostly faded out and a dwindling number taking the subject at A-level, there are concerns it could die out by 2033. With contributions from Nicola Benedetti, Anna Meredith, Nubya Garcia and Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason among others.
This is an important crossover subject (literally) which I might also publicise on anther thread. I remember an interview Ian Carr gave of Max Roach back in the 1980s (I think) in which a similar situation under Reagan had come about through government underfunding of inner city areas of the USA in turn galvanising the rise of hip-hop - which Mr Kinch has himself worked into his creative approach and involvement in community action and educational programmes.
