Lord Berkeley of Knighton (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2025

Debate

National Centre for Arts and Music Education

Contribution

My Lords, as my noble friend Lady Bull and the Minister have said, AI could be very important. However, as my noble friend will remember from her days as a dancer, and speaking as an instrumentalist, physical presence in the room is everything if you are learning about movement or bowing a violin. Where will this national centre be? Also, this should not cover up the real need for more music in schools for physically hearing music and thus finding that one has a vocation, where excellence can then be introduced.
