The Music Education Council (MEC) is the gathering of the most diverse and knowledgeable voices in the UK, promoting the educational and social value of music.
At its heart, it is a UK Council that, through its members, acts as expert adviser, champion of standards in learning and enabler of change. MEC aims to help create a society where everyone benefits from the personal, social, and educational value of music.
The Music Education Council draws its membership from across the entire music education and music industry sectors.
