Valerie Chairs Westminster Hall Debate on the Future of Music Education

I chaired the debate in Westminster Hall on Thursday 3 July 2025 : “That this House has considered the future of music education”. The member in charge was  Bambos Charalambous MP  and chair of the APPG on Music Education. The debate was responded to by the Minister for School Standards, Catherine McKinnell MP. 

As co- Chair of the Classical Music APPG, I was delighted that the Minister had made a number of financial commitments and the in particular to a National Centre for Arts and Music which will link up with the Music Hubs.
