As 2025 draws to a close, National Music Service Wales would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all parents, carers, and tutors who have supported and guided young musicians throughout the year. Your dedication has been instrumental in nurturing talent and inspiring the next generation of performers.
This year marked a significant milestone with the introduction of new funding investment by the Welsh Government, ensuring that music education remains accessible and sustainable across Wales for the next 3 years. This investment has strengthened our ability to provide high-quality opportunities for every child, regardless of background.
We also celebrate the outstanding achievements of our music services, whose commitment and creativity have brought music to life in communities across the country. From school ensembles to regional orchestras, their work continues to enrich lives and foster a vibrant musical culture.
Our Partners Board is going from strength to strength, ensuring that as many music education pathways as possible are connected. And so, when it is possible to stretch the funding, the discussion is worth every penny. We want to sincerely thank all our partners for the happy, constructive collaboration that truly makes a difference across the country.
Together, we have made 2025 a year of progress, passion, and performance. Here’s to building on this success in 2026!
