The North West Pathfinder specifically targets the objectives laid out in the Music Manifesto, with a particular emphasis on improving the support structures for young peoples’ music making, by:
- Providing a new model for music service provision – bringing existing Local Authority services into an alliance with professional practitioners
- Improving co-ordination of a number of existing funding streams
- Developing strong links between the formal and non formal sectors across a number of musical genres
- Building significantly on existing work in training and leadership in specialist and non-specialist teachers
- Developing a choral programme and building a pyramid of high quality choirs of all types
