Who Is Musical Futures For?
Musical Futures was initially designed for secondary schools, with a particular focus on 12–14 yr old students, as this has long been an age at which students seem to lose interest in music learning in school. However, teachers in primary and tertiary education have successfully adopted Musical Futures approaches. We have also seen these approaches tailored to work with students in challenging circumstances (for example students with special educational needs, or in Young Offenders Institutes and Pupil Referral Units).

Famous quotes containing the words futures for? and/or musical:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world. That expression can take many forms, from artistic interests, a way of thinking, athletic activities, a particular style of dressing, musical talents, different hobbies, etc. Our job is to join our children in discovering who they are.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
