Swedish students should be able to take advanced music education as early as primary school, believes Minister of Education Simona Mohamsson (L), who is now appointing an inquiry.

There are already primary schools with a music profile, but the investigation will look at whether advanced education that can deviate from the regular schedule and have more music hours on the schedule can be introduced, reports Sveriges Radio Kulturnytt .

It is important that young musical talents are given the opportunity to develop early, believes Mohamsson, who emphasizes that Sweden has long produced successful artists who have made themselves known around the world.

But several reports show that we are starting to fall behind and that Swedish musicians are finding it more difficult to assert themselves in international competition, she tells Kulturnytt.
