A NEW music manifesto has been launched, aimed at putting music at the heart of every school.
The manifesto has been launched by David Miliband, School Standards Minister; Estelle Morris, Arts Minister; and a 70-strong coalition of prominent members of the music industry and education.
It is hoped pupils' musical experiences, interests and skills will dramatically improve.
Mr Miliband said: "Music is central to our drive to provide an enriched and balanced curriculum for all schoolchildren."
