Where is the UK -music education wrong?- Glide (2024)

Meyrick Alexander participation:

Could it be 14 years of cuts and discouragement of art, you think?

Jonathan participation:

Are British players still eligible to play in Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester?

……. All musicians with European citizenship are admitted to the orchestra.

Does this only mean EU citizens or citizens from a country on the European continent?

Musician participation:

I am not surprised.With a junior department, and yet we had to go far beyond the city for music lessons on one of the branches.

As I understand, the UK had about a really good music education system.30 years ago.Many good quality amateur orchestras throughout the country).And if they were particularly talented, they could become a member of a junior department in a music college or special school such as Purcell, Menuhin or Chet's.Expensive and many responsibilities for music education became responsible change from schools in professional musical institutions.

Okay.Could not come to a weekend music school because places were already taken by children who were not tested for their musical skills, so some probably do not show any opportunities to develop great musical talent.

So if the UK wants to have better quality musicians, then you either make access to music education cheap and omnipresent, or you do it selectively and look for children who at least have the chance to succeed with this profession.

But I have to emphasize that we probably have to do everything to go to the first.Employment market (and even on social media!) Great Britain) offers less and less in cultural education.

Brexit prevents young British players from attending GMJO.

The same applies to orchestral courses at concertytytywewwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwow.

Leon Bosch participation:

In British music, protests against the opposite are transformed into a fashion accessory in the middle class.

Anon participation:

15 plus years of broader opportunities lessons at primary schools have purchased a lot in instrumental education, how can you learn an entire class an instrument correctly?Cover,

Tim Walton participation:

A question that answers before this blog can be taken to make the value of the foundation.
How many British pianists made themselves to participate in the competition, but were removed in earlier rounds.

Interested observer participation:

Conservations have changed in the last 30 years.Who all sound the same and unfortunately are 'Jacks of All Trades and Masters of None'.Focus on expertise and on the inner message in every piece.In the place they run between orchestra, chamber music, some solo work, technical academic work - this is all important, but why have no ways - after a foundation year you decide which path you want to follow?Singers usually do not start opera education with an opera school to the post -degree level -the voice is an instrument and it must grow up and it is different from playing a string instrument, but why is the process so different?The pursuit of expertise has been eradicated from state schools in the United Kingdom to all do the same in the pursuit of equality - now it disappears from a conservatory at least two lessons a week with their professor and perhaps an assistant - here have only an hour!Usually) about the composer and the music in the first place- not about the artist or their clothing.

Kathy participation:

My child is a very talented 10 -year -old pianist and violinist.We live in Lewisham, London.

The neighbor Boven and the Council would have threatened us with the order of the noise repayment if he continues to practice at home, although we always practice strictly at social times.

It is very difficult ……

According to this site, only 7 British pianists have reached the final since the game started, from a total of 61 finalists.Years, but only have one British pianist for the 2nd round this year that really suggests the musical education of the state in the country?Sweat statement based on a competition goes a bit far.In the context of the competition there were at least two British in the first round (Callum Mclachlan and Julian Miles Trevelyan).

PhD.-Music Education Student participation:

Years and years of rhetoric of the government that art is not valuable career choices, cutbacks in financing, cutbacks in university departments, Brexit, a pandemic and have to overtake in English and mathematics at primary schools and colleges, Ebacc, every art remove some art fromSome art school plans, schools are responsible for their financing distribution, but at the same time that makes everyone and nobody an expert.
Do all that in a pan and stir it ... Welcome to the future of the music in the UK.

Eerik participation:

Follow the money.Good life too low.

CB participation:

I am so sad to hear about Cathy's experience in Lewisham.
I am a governor of a small primary school in Lewisham.This year we have decided that every child in the year 4 teachership is one of the Lewisham Music Hub team.
It seems that Lewisham Council may not be consistent in his attitude towards music education.

Peter Broadbent participation:

Why blame education when we have had so many years of discouragement from our government?All Western countries are confronted with financial challenges, but it seems that our leaders in particular decide that art is unnecessary to try to tackle the inherent problems of society.

Louise F participation:

This is actually wrong.This year there were two British challengers at Leeds.

The problem is that our British conservatopes are flooded by non-brought musicians.Music education is serious.

John Humphreys participation:

Perhaps the old artificial bait of competitions (except the enthusiastic pianists from the Far East) falls?I am chairman of one!) - Trying to decide who is the 'best' in contrast to just different.

Sam Walton participation:

Unfortunately, the kind of barrier that Cathy is coming is becoming increasingly common, especially now that more people are working at home.Did this problem held, I share the worries of Cathy.Alt what I can advise is to go in a constructive discourse with both advice and neighbor to come up with a solution that everyone is satisfied with.Social Center or Church that will like to borrow their piano at certain times that are not too busy?

Trombone participation:

All the above is true.
What we had 30 was now in the world, we are filled ... Such a shame.77, the basic tax rate was 25%, now it is 20%: is there a connection?

Trombone participation:

... and electronic keyboards, guitar in the classroom, djembes and the dreaded ukuleles will not cut it.

Question mark participation:

It may not be the quality of education in the UK, but who participates in this education.

George Lobley participation:

Britons listen to only pop music today.What can you expect

Michael participation:

What a free market, right -wingers think of art.

Everyone of you who has activated this Nutcase, Philistine, free market waters in the past 40 years, is an accomplice.

Disappointed parent participation:

My son is 13, he has class 8 in one instrument and class 4 in another, but he cannot make GCSE music because his school does not run for his year group, because only 6 students have chosen it.Professional musician and will continue his instrumental studies, but he is really looking forward to studying a subject he likes for his exams.

Quincos Davios participation:

The British music education system is broken.There are far too many music teachers who cannot read music.A serious situation.There are many reasons for this, including a lack of financing, respect and a flood in education about speech articles and the pressure of teachers who have to achieve goals.gets better ...

Dr. participation:

UK Music Teaching has always been about teaching grammar instead of learning to play.Many people fall out because they are bored.

Ludwig's participation:

Import South Korean drinking water in Great -Britain and the British talent pool will flourish in a wonderful way!

Andrew Clarke participation:

Peer Group pressure can discourage many young people, different from electric guitars, electric keyboards and drums.

Tess participation:

Debt Tories.The national curriculum has killed every creativity.We do our best despite poor financing, lack of support and lack of insight.

Hywel Hills participation:

What is needed is perhaps an incentive for young people.Or five harpers and many other instruments.It's music.And it gives new players a way to be inviting instead of scary.

Christopher D Wiggins participation:

The main reason is that it is still considered elitist to study an instrumental.Not everyone would then follow their studies at the end of this compulsory unit, but everyone who wants to be able to do.

Anon participation:

I just had a meeting with local music teachers.The national plan for music and model music plan supports the learning of music (one can mainly suggest western classical).the moment.

Helen s participation:

Schools use their budget that they choose, it means that school leaders choose how much money they will spend on each subject every year.Then we have for the year that is just ready.

Long term - free individual music lessons that were previously financed in the 70s and 80s - this is no longer the case.That the most a box is that the exercise for schools does not help.

Personally, I think that if the toilet needs to be used, the toilet must only be carried out for a certain period and then lessons must be offered.

At the top?I know that some talented young musicians do not intend to follow music as a career path because of wages and the costs of training in this country.Believe in by the cutbacks further down the ladder, there is a narrowed selection pool for the conservat banks to choose their students.

Chris participation:

In the past there used to be more reporting about ties and orchestras in the regular media.
Also in our area, when the cutbacks began and De Lesplaar was re-introduced around 1996 for the education of the music service, we experienced a gradual decrease in both student and standards.Many employees of the music services and school music staff became superfluous.Now music can often be once a week in the early secondary and non-existent in many of our local primary schools.Difficult to attract students who can show the will and perseverance to develop into the higher levels.

Giuseppe participation:

When they had taught people in the top curatories and then got Tutti jobs that they should have trained their students to get interested.

Elliott Kevin participation:

We have lost it far from it.In fact, we have seven fantastic large music schools in this country with a number of brilliant young talented players.
We are now hub of the world.And they sound great.
Spain started a big push in music education in the nineties, and we really see that there is a performance.

Greg participation:

We have remained rigid to traditional styles in education, America leads the road to music education, accessible to everyone and more tempting.

We used to led.
