<\/p>\nIn 2018 Creative Scotland commissioned The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, to undertake a\u00a0major examination of music education and youth music-making in Scotland. Across a twelve-month period from early 2018 to early 2019. RCS\u00a0took feedback and data from a wide range of organisations and individuals \u00a0to examine the current state of music education \u00a0and music making\u00a0opportunities for young people. \u00a0It looked at 3 varied case studies, examined the impact of YMI, the schools Instrumental Music Services and\u00a0explored the formal, informal and non-formal sectors of music education in Scotland. <\/p>\n

In WGON \u00a0it was noted that\u00a0the average proportion of pupils\u00a0<\/span>receiving\u00a0<\/span>tuition\u00a0has stayed roughly constant since 2002-3, at around 8-9%. This\u00a0<\/span>indicates,\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>report\u00a0suggests, that the number of pupils receiving tuition is determined by the supply, not the demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since 2003-4, the number of local authorities charging for instrumental music has risen from 15 to 25, and the average fee has risen from \u00a3102 to \u00a3220with the maximum fee increasing from \u00a3308 to \u00a3524. Around 19,000 pupils pay nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The report made four significant recommendations to action:<\/p>\n To FURTHER FACILITATING Experiences and Opportunities<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The YMI programme in the Borders is working with its partners and the community music groups to support improvements in all these four areas.
