The Musical Futures Wales pilots are now underway. Schools across Wales will be piloting Musical Futures to assess its need, suitability and whether any adaptations need to be made. All schools will be trialling non-formal teaching and informal learning approaches with a minimum of one class.

Watch this space for more on how the pilots are going, what teachers and students think, and new resources developed by teachers in Wales to support Musical Futures.
