The Consell (autonomous government) supports musical training in Llíria
The Unió Musical, pioneer in integrating musical training in Primary Education
Last Saturday the Minister of Education, Culture and Sports, Vicent Marzà, visited the new educational infrastructures of the Centro Integrado de Enseñanzas Musicales de la Unió Musical de Llíria and signed a convention which will provide up to 150,000 euros for teaching expenses.
The Unió Musical de Llíria will impart musical elementary lessons from the third to the sixth year of Primary Education in an integrated way and free of charge. In 1997, the Unió became the first centre in Spain to impart integrated musical training, and still preserves its innovative character and its commitment to education.
The Unió is thus another sample of Llíria as being traditionally a builder of generations of musicians and creator of new methodologies of musical education, moreover supported and recognised by the highest body of Valencian Culture and Education.
Just one more reason why #LlíriaCityofMusic aspires to be recognised by UNESCO as Creative City of Music.
