Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the efficacy of music therapy in increasing students' educational attainment.
This question was answered on 5th December 2017
We have not made an assessment on the efficacy of music therapy in increasing students’ educational attainment.
Research shows however that Music education may have a positive cognitive impact, particularly amongst primary school pupils (Huat See, and Kokotsaki, 2017).
Music education is a statutory element of the National Curriculum in key stages 1-3.
