Today the Daily Express launches its #StrikeAChord campaign to revive music education in schools & safeguard the perilous future of the £5.8bn industry. Shock figures show number of A-Level students has dropped by 50% in past decade & GCSE numbers by 19%.

In January, we awarded Wigan Youth Zone a Behringer MS-1 analogue synthesiser for their music technology lessons. Over 2000 people have used it on an individual level or as a group! If you would like to support Music for All, then visit our website: musicforall.org.uk/donate/donate-…
