Why Musical Futures?
“Since the introduction of Musical Futures, take up of music as an option has increased significantly, with two or three times the number of pupils choosing this as a GCSE option. This has also led to the increase in the number of young people deciding to take individual music tuition in a variety of instruments from voice to classical flute.”
