Wizdom Layne on how Hip Hop and Rap can support engagement and inclusion in education
Following a dynamic panel discussion at Music Mark’s conference last year, Wizdom Layne, Deputy Director of Sound Connections considers how incorporating wider musical genres, namely Hip Hop and Rap, into music education can support with the engagement, inclusion, and progression of young people.
Through this think piece, Wizdom demonstrates how collaborative approaches are the key to change, and to helping nurture local ecosystems and music scenes within the context of the revised National Plan for Music Education and the relaunch of the Music Hubs from this September.
Sound Connections exists to create change. We work across the music community to achieve inclusion, equity and social justice. We do this through supporting young people, the music education workforce, and the wider music education sector. In addition to delivering charitable programmes, we offer a comprehensive consultancy service for music, arts, cultural and heritage organisations.
