Beyond Enrichment: Rethinking Music and Employability

With ‘enrichment’ having been directly referenced in the Curriculum and Assessment Review and the governmental focus on the skills agenda, this virtual session considers how to strike a balance between championing music’s transferable skills and simultaneously advocating for music as a discipline in its own right. The panel brings together specialists from both inside and outside of music education to reflect upon the role of music in a world where artificial intelligence is becoming more dominant and uniquely human characteristics are increasing in perceived value. This session will be followed by a wider discussion to explore the next steps, such as who we need to reach, what language best articulates our message, and how we can work across levels of education as a united voice.

This session will be of particular interest to those working in further and higher education institutions, careers advisors and industry partners.
