Thank you to Rhianon for raising this issue, and I know that she is a huge champion within the Senedd for music and for everything that it can do to improve our lives at this very difficult time. I'd be happy to seek an update from the Welsh Government on all of those issues in terms of how we're seeking to update our operational guidance for schools and also the guidance for a phased return of performance at culture and heritage venues and destinations, and also the concerns that I know Rhianon Passmore has about music services and the music feasibility study and funding for music education more widely. 

Beyond providing a written response to the Member, I do know that there's a debate on the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee's report on the impact of COVID-19 on the creative industries. That's due to take place on 11 November, and I think that will be another useful opportunity to hear the latest from the Minister on this particular aspect.
