Author: John Myerscough

Summary: This study was commissioned by the Advisory Group of the Music and
Dance Scheme. It presents a detailed analysis of the current arrangements
in England for the vocational training of children of exceptional talent
in music and in dance, and sets the Scheme in this wider context. In assessing
the effectiveness of the different models of provision, international comparisons
are drawn, especially with the rest of Europe. The study identifies strategies
for developing provision so that more children of talent and commitment can
have access to the best vocational training and professional preparation
in order to meet the ever-changing demands of the art forms of music and
dance.
