Question
What work is the Welsh Government undertaking to promote the National Music Service in the Vale of Clwyd?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
The National Music Service is fully funded by the Welsh Government through the Curriculum for Wales Grant Support Programme. This includes support for the Service’s website and associated Facebook platform, enabling all music services across Wales to engage effectively with schools. The Grant Programme is underpinned by a communications strategy, and we work with our grants partners to build awareness of their work.
The National Music Service provision in the Vale of Clwyd area is delivered by the North Wales Music Co-operative, offering a wide range of support including First Experiences, live music experiences, and pathways to county and regional ensembles. Schools from the Vale of Clwyd have participated in a range of music performances, notably for National Music Day and at the Urdd Eisteddfod in Wrexham.
