LPME (Local Plan for Music Education)

Leicestershire Music has gone from strength to strength demonstrating resilience and determination in ensuring that young people can continue to access a high-quality music education. Through a developing workforce and dynamic partnerships (including schools), Leicestershire Music enables children and young people from all backgrounds in Leicestershire and Leicester to 'Enrich and connect your world through life changing experiences.' Leicestershire Music leadership has been strengthened and supported by the Executive Board and Leicestershire County Council (Children and Family Services) to ensure that the organisation moves forward and continues to develop in line with the needs of the communities it serves.

Leicestershire Music has a carefully thought-out vision for the musical future of our children and young people in Leicestershire and fully embraces the objectives and recommendations of the National Plan for Music Education.

We are committed to:

  • providing an inclusive, diverse, and engaging music education and recognise that music education plays a vital role in developing creativity, cognitive skills, social connections, and overall well-being.
  • delivering high-quality music education programs and this will be achieved by investing in the continuous professional development of music educators, fostering partnerships with local schools and cultural organisations, and regularly evaluating the impact and effectiveness of our work.

To align with the National Plan, Leicestershire Music Hub will develop programmes of activity that focus on:
