This conference, in March 2019, comes at a pivotal point for art and design. The theme ‘Unbounded: The Agency of Art and Design’ emerged from discussions which started almost immediately after the conclusion of the 2018 Annual Conference in Cardiff. These discussions focussed on the value of an arts education, and how art and design education encourages people to explore, to experiment, to question. Despite the economic success of the UK creative industries totalling £101.5bn a year, we are challenged in our ability to influence policy that directly affects our sector and internally within our institutions to advocate for the creative subjects. This conference seeks to celebrate the agency of art and design and aims to provide a compelling forum to ensure that we are emboldened to engage with new opportunities and contexts, and to do so with increased confidence in our own value, agency and power.

The ABRSM reports based on that research had a significant impact on the music education environment. With the Wider Opportunities programme established, the publication of Darren Henley’s February 2011 report into music education in England, the November 2011 National Plan for Music Education and the setting up of the Music Education Hubs network in England – plus the deepest recession in the UK for many years – now seems an appropriate time to look again at what is happening to musical instrument teaching and learning. This report, we believe, will be of huge significance in a changing music educational environment. Its significance has been enhanced by the willing cooperation of the many organisations that have helped ABRSM with this project.

  • Cold Comfort and Home Truths: Informing the Review of Jazz in England ______Foreword and Summary by John Fordham
    Cold Comfort and Home Truths: Informing the review of jazz in England _________________________________________________________________________________________ Foreword and Summary by John Fordham The American-born art of jazz has been a vivid presence in English music for over 90 years - taking root in the country’s culture within a decade of the first jazz recordings being released in New York in 1917, and fascinating successive generations of players and fans ever since with variations on the original models that have told increasingly distinctive local stories. But the focus of this report is not a comprehensive history of jazz music’s evolution in England, intriguing though it has been. Our objectives are practical and contemporary - to enable the English jazz constituency to use its jazz-supporting resources as effectively as possible, and to help facilitate the promotion of all forms “Jazz has shown of jazz, and further its development. This report thus extraordinary surveys an English jazz community, currently in excellent creative fettle amidst severe economic powers of survival hardship, from the starting point of two key questions: and self-renewal “Where are we now? And where do we want to be?” inside a society not The parameters of ‘Cold Comfort and Home Truths’ begin where the fairly healthy economics and self- designed for it.” sustaining fusion of jazz and pre-rock commercial and dance styles left off over 60 years ago. Jazz, which Eric Hobsbawm dominated the sounds of mass-entertainment in the first ‘Uncommon People’ half of the 20th century, moved aside for Elvis Presley and The Beatles, and thus closer to art-music - with its enthusiastic but inevitably smaller audiences, and the concomitant necessity for investment and support beyond the means of box-offices or record shops alone.
