Tune In - Year of music

Music is for Life is being provided as part of Tune In - Year of Music. The Year of Music is an initiative from the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) that is running throughout the 2009/10 academic year. The project aims to encourage children and young people across England to take part in more music-related activities, helping the Government deliver on a vital element of The Children's Plan - the cultural offer. MMF is providing a series of events throughout the year working in partnership with other music organisations in the UK.

The goal is to spread the message that music should be an important factor in children and young people's lives, because music can inspire creativity, improve concentration skills, encourage motivation, determination and build social skills, life skills and confidence.

To find out more about Tune In visit www.dcsf.gov.uk/tunein.

Music is for Life is also one of MMF's key pledges to the Music Manifesto and is supported by the Merton Music Foundation, Department for Children, Schools and Families, and London Borough of Merton.

The Music Manifesto – the campaign for improvement in music education - is backed by over 2700 signatories with nationwide support from Music Services, Schools, Local Authorities, Government and the Music Industries. Visit: www.musicmanifesto.co.uk
