Lincolnshire Music Education Hub Objective

LMEH is committed to ensuring that delivery is tailored to meet local needs and to work in partnership with schools and other providers: 

  • Children and Young People (CYP) from all backgrounds in every part of Lincolnshire should have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument; make music with others; learn to sing; and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of excellence if they wish to.
  • Ensure all CYP receive a high quality music education by addressing provision both in and out of school.
  • Support and challenge schools to enable them to provide a high quality music education for all as part of a broad and balanced curriculum.
  • A mixed model of whole-class instrumental tuition (WCIT), profession routes and inspirational opportunities of the highest quality to ensure we drive forward progression and excellence in music education across the county. 
  • Continued Professional Development for music leaders including accreditation where applicable. 

The objectives outlined above are achieved through activities delivered across Lincolnshire balanced against a clear set of Key Performance Indicators.
