City of Lucerne wants to strengthen music education

The City Council is applying for the loan with report and application 27/2025: "Weiterentwicklung Musikalische Bildung. Measures and offers. Rejection of Motion 188". According to the city's press release, around 15.896 million francs of the amount will be spent on annually recurring personnel costs over ten years and 125,000 francs on one-off infrastructure costs. The aim is "equitable access to music for all children and young people, especially in socially disadvantaged neighborhoods", as called for in Motion 188 from July 2022.

Through close cooperation between elementary school and music schools, coordinated with the introduction of day schools, comprehensive measures are to improve the quality of music lessons. Regular lessons will be improved through team teaching with music specialists, and new offerings such as music projects, musical activities during supervision time and during the lunch break will be anchored in all school buildings. The role of the music coordinator in each school building promotes networking, while simplified access to music lessons reduces organizational hurdles.
