Youth Music Quality Framework - new edition

Youth Music’s Quality Framework – Do, Review, Improve – gathers together the criteria we believe are necessary to deliver a high-quality music-making session.

The updated version is based on feedback gathered from our grantholders since the original framework was published back in 2014. We realised that although the framework was a useful tool, it was also quite long and complicated. The changes to the new version should make it easier for practitioners to use.

We've reduced and simplified the criteria, and at the same time aligned them with current thinking around best practice and effective pedagogical approaches. We've also added a section that outlines the important responsibilities of organisations when managing a music-making project. This will help you to consider the quality of your project as a whole, as well as each individual session.
