Love music? Spend much of your day with headphones on? Have a favourite artist? Fan of live gigs?

Then support music education in state schools and universities, because it's dying on its feet right now. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/dec/22/the-guardian-view-on-music-education-not-an-optional-extra

On the latest stats (HESA 2018/19) the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music have the lowest state school entry (39.7% and 41.8% respectively) of any UK HE institution. This is NOT THEIR FAULT: it indicates the desperate lack of musical training in many state schools.

Drill down into the subject-level stats for university music departments, and the situation is not much better.

Conservatoires and university music departments have been making concerted efforts to admit a greater diversity of applicants especially in recent years e.g. @EDIMusicStudies ; but if music is not being taught in state primary and secondary schools, it is way too little too late.

Again: this is not on individual schools. This is on Conservative government policy, and particularly excessively strained school budgets. Many schools are simply not able to meet their statutory requirements for music teaching; many no longer employ a specialist music teacher.
