The new National Plan for Music Education micromanages teachers, schools and Hubs, telling them to carry on doing the same as before, only better. "Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Instead what's needed is for schools to stop teaching classical musical instruments in whole class lessons and to focu on easy to play instruments and the music styles that the children actually want to play.

As well as hitting curriculum objectives, this percussion pack will help pupils enjoy the real sense of achievement that comes from making music as a group. In fact, I can see it delivering genuine benefits in terms of class cohesion, self-esteem and team-building skills.
