Strengthening music in society
There has never been a more important time to recognise the value of music-making for wellbeing and cultural health, and the significance of the UK music industry as a national asset.
RWCMD Principal Professor Helena Gaunt has been a leading voice in this discussion culminating in the four-year collaborative research project Strengthening Music in Society.
The way forward for UK Conservatoires
