 Wider Opportunities
Berkshire Maestros is fully committed to the government’s pledge that every primary school child should have the opportunity to learn to sing and/or play a musical instrument. To that end, it delivers large group or whole class projects under the umbrella of the Wider Opportunities initiative to give Key Stage 2 children a first experience of what it is like to learn to play a musical instrument. Each of our five Unitary Authority partners is allocated a sum of money by the government to promote these projects; this is known as the Music Standards Fund.

The government intends that the Wider Opportunities programmes should be a year long introduction to learning to play an instrument, free of charge, in the hope that by 2011 over 2 million pupils nationally will have had the opportunity to learn a musical instrument for free for at least a year.

Maestros offers year-long projects and a small number of one term projects to schools.
