Huge thanks to @improvserv for compiling the annual report into music tuition in Scotland’s Local Authority schools once again. It is heartwarming that so many young people in our schools wish to explore learning through music.
The cost of delivering instrumental music tuition rose over 10% in 2022-23 according to the latest national survey. Cost rises driven by increasing no of pupils and high inflation.

Great day at the @HIT_Scotland conference seeing colleagues, talking about #YMusicMatters. Some important questions were raised about how we make music education more accessible for all. I also loved this quote from @VFleischfresser ⬇️
Inspiring and uplifting keynote at @HIT_Scotland Conference this morning from @VFleischfresser “When you learn an instrument you gain another voice” #Inclusion #WhyMusicMatters #MusicEducation #MusicEd
ALT Vaughan Fleischfresser @VFleischiressor The Music Department is an alternate universe where pupils are often unrecognisable from who they are outside of it. The shy become confident. The agitated become calm. The lonely become included. The quiet become heard. And the lost become found. Music reveals the real child,

Mind buzzing from a great day at the @HIT_Scotland conference. So much to think about, thank you for having me
Fantastic to hear past Plockton Music School pupils and now @RCStweets students perform and talk about their musical experiences - HITS conference 2023.
‘How inclusive are we?’ Music should be ‘accessible’ - it is structure and systems that are excluding……
Thank you to young musician Robbie Dowall @WoodmillHigh for a fantastic, musical start to our HITS conference 2023.
Thank you to Robbie Dowall from @WoodmillHigh for his his fantastic performance opening the @HIT_Scotland annual conference. An inspiring start to the day! @MusicWoodmill @FifeCouncil #timetoplaymusic

A massive thank you to the Improvement Service for preparing our annual report.
🆕 We've just published our annual instrumental music services survey on behalf of @HIT_Scotland
The no of school pupils learning an instrument has rebounded to pre-Covid levels but it's still too early to assess the impact of removing tuition fees.
