The East Riding Music Education Hub is a partnership of local and
regional music organisations, working together to create joined up,
high quality music education for young people, in and out of school.
As lead organisation for the East Riding Music Education Hub,
the Schools’ Music Service works with partners from throughout the
local region to provide musical opportunities to young
people and the wider community.

The National Plan for Music Education sets out to "enable children
from all backgrounds and every part of England to have the
opportunity to learn a musical instrument; to make music with others;
to learn to sing; and to have the opportunity to progress
to the next level of excellence." 

It is envisaged that "Music education hubs will consist of
partnerships of organisations working together in a local area
to create joined up, high quality music education provision for
children and young people, in and out of school."

The East Riding Music Education Hub co-ordinates music provision
with children, young people, schools and groups across the
East Riding to deliver the following core and extension roles as
defined by the National Plan for Music Education:

Core Roles

• Ensure that every child aged 5-18 has the opportunity to learn a
  musical instrument through whole-class ensemble programmes.
• Provide opportunities to play in ensembles and to perform from an
  early stage.
• Ensure that clear progression routes are available andaffordable
  to all young people.
• Develop a singing strategy to ensure that every pupil sings
  regularly and that choirs and other vocal ensembles are available in the area.

Extension Roles

• Offer CPD to school staff, particularly in supporting schools to deliver music
  in the curriculum.
• Provide an instrument loan service, with discounts or free provision
  for those on low incomes.
• Provide access to large-scale, high quality music experiences for pupils,
  working with professional musicians and venues.This may include
  undertaking work to publicise the opportunities available to schools,
  parents/carers and students.
