Personalising Music Learning - an introduction
Personalising Music Learning has become a key theme of Musical Futures, perhaps inevitably since our starting point has been to find ways to engage more young people in music, for longer.

Key Stage 3 is a critical moment in the musical lives of young people, since a good set of experiences at this time can encourage them to continue in the formal sector (through school and instrumental lessons), the non-formal sector (through extended schools or youth and community projects) or give them the confidence to work ‘informally’ (in self-led groups). We believe that more young people will continue to be involved in musical activities if teachers, tutors and other music leaders can personalise those experiences between the ages of 11-14.
