Exchanging Notes Research Report

Exchanging Notes set out to explore whether young musicians at risk of low attainment, disengagement or educational exclusion could achieve the best musical, educational and wider outcomes through participation in a longitudinal music education project. Alongside this was an aspiration to investigate new models of effective partnership-working between schools and out-of-school music providers. This report documents the findings from young musicians, teachers, music leaders, music providers, head teachers and music hub leads. It also analyses statistical data held by schools. The report draws together these findings and offers insights into the successes and challenges of partnership working for 21st century music curriculum
