The Musical Progressions Roundtable (MPR) is a network of organisations and individuals involved in music education from across the UK, with over 200 participants to date. We are looking at how, together, we can most effectively support all children and young people’s musical progression, enabling them to fulfill their potential, whatever kind of music they make and whatever background they’re from.

The MPR is an open forum for generating ideas and exploring complex issues. However it’s ultimately focused on action: creating practical outputs (including influencing strategy, producing online tools and developing training models) that will create genuine change for all young people’s music making. The MPR was initiated in 2009 by Awards for Young Musicians, the Musicians Benevolent Fund and Youth Music. Since 2012 it has been hosted by Awards for Young Musicians and Ben Sandbrook, and funded by Youth Music.
