Sections 3 and 4 of the 1988 Education Reform Act include music as one of the compulsory foundation subjects in the National Curriculum and empower the Secretary of State to specify attainment targets, programmes of study, and assessment arrangements for music for children aged five to 14. The Music Working Group appointed to advise the Secretary of State reported to June and its recommendations for attainment targets, programmes of study and statements of attainment targets, programmes of study and statements of attainment were published in August in its final report. Sean McCavera, classroom teacher in the secondary department at The Vale School for pupils with physical disabilities, London Borough of Haringey, comments on the proposals.
