Music lessons praised for impact, but schools lack adequate support

A letter published in The Guardian argues that music education delivers strong benefits for young people, yet many schools cannot offer it consistently. The author describes music education as powerful but its provision as frail, highlighting a gap between potential and reality. The brief commentary points to the need for better support and resources to strengthen music programmes across the education system. Without such changes, the promise of music to enrich learning and personal growth may remain unrealised for many students.
