Nod y cyllid yw gwella cyfleoedd plant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru i ddysgu sut i chwarae offerynnau cerdd newydd ac i astudio cerddoriaeth. Bydd y cyllid yn helpu i ddatblygu mentrau fel Anthem, a bydd yn cynnig cyfleoedd i sicrhau bod addysg cerddoriaeth o ansawdd uchel ar gael i bob dysgwr. \<?xml:namespace prefix \= "o" ns \= "urn:schemas\-microsoft\-com:office:office" /\>

 Caiff £1\.5m ei wario yn 2018/19, a chaiff £1\.5m ychwanegol ei neilltuo ar gyfer gwasanaethau cerddoriaeth y flwyddyn nesaf. Mae’r buddsoddiad hwnnw’n cynnwys y £1m o gyllid y flwyddyn y cytunwyd arno fel rhan o gytundeb y gyllideb ddwy flynedd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru, a’r £0\.5m a gafodd ei gyhoeddi yn nyraniad y gyllideb derfynol ddoe. 

 Mae'r Awdurdodau Lleol wedi derbyn £1\.4m drwy Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, a gallent ddefnyddio'r cyllid i gefnogi amrywiaeth o wasanaethau, gan gynnwys:

 * Prynu offerynnau cerdd newydd a rhai sydd 'mewn perygl'
* Sicrhau bod mynediad gan bob disgybl at wersi, arholiadau a chyrsiau
* Talu costau bod yn rhan o gerddorfeydd, corau a bandiau
* Cychwyn ensemble 'roc a phop'
* Cefnogi addasiadau cerddorol cydweithredol

 Mae Celfyddydau Cenedlaethol Ieuenctid Cymru wedi derbyn £100,000 i barhau â'u gwasanaethau cerddoriaeth, gan gynnwys ensembles ieuenctid. 

 Dywedodd Kirsty Williams: 

  

 
> “Mae cerddoriaeth yn ganolog i'n treftadaeth gyfoethog. Ac rwy wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i sicrhau bod pob un o'n pobl ifanc, waeth beth yw eu cefndir, yn cael yr un cyfleoedd i ddatblygu eu dawn cerddorol a chyflawni eu potensial llawn. 
> 
>  “Bydd ysgolion eisoes wedi dechrau cyflwyno addysg cerddoriaeth fel rhan o'n cwricwlwm newydd blaengar, a bydd y cyllid ychwanegol hwn yn helpu i chwalu'r rhwystrau, fel costau arholiadau a mynediad at offerynnau cerdd.”

  

 Dywedodd Bethan Sayed AC, Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu:

  

 
> "Rwy'n falch am y cyhoeddiad hwn. Rwy hefyd yn falch am y ffaith bod mwy o arian wedi'i ymrwymo i'r maes nad oedd wedi'i gynnig yn y lle cyntaf yng nghytundeb y gyllideb a wnaed rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru. 
> 
>  “Mae pobl ar draws y sector, ar hyd a lled Cymru, wedi bod yn galw am ragor o gymorth wedi'i dargedu. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y cyllid hwn yn dechrau wrthdroi'r dirywiad yr ydyn ni wedi'i weld yn y maes cerddoriaeth mewn ysgolion. 
> 
>  "Mae'r Ysgrifennydd Addysg wedi gweithio'n ddidwyll gyda fi ac eraill, ac mae hynny'n dystiolaeth o'r hyn y gallwn ni ei gyflawni pan fydd consensws ar y mater dan sylw."

\<?xml:namespace prefix \= "o" ns \= "urn:schemas\-microsoft\-com:office:office" /\> The fund aims to increase access and opportunities for children and young people in Wales to learn new instruments and study music. It builds on initiatives such as Anthem and will offer opportunities to ensure the provision of high quality, universal access to musical education for all learners.

 £1\.5million will be spent in 2018/19, with a further £1\.5 million allocated for music services next year. This includes £1million per annum as agreed as part of the two\-year budget agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru, and £0\.5m as announced in yesterday’s final budget allocation. 

 Local Authorities have received £1\.4million via the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) which may be used to support a variety of services including:

 * Purchasing new and endangered instruments
* Ensuring all pupils have access to lessons, exams and courses
* Covering costs of attendance at orchestras, choirs and bands
* Initiating a ‘rock and pop’ ensemble
* Supporting music co\-operative arrangements

 National Youth Arts Wales has received £100,000 to continue their music services, including youth ensembles. 

 Kirsty Williams, said: 

  

 
> “Music is at the heart of our nation’s rich heritage and I am absolutely committed to ensuring all our young people, whatever their background, have the same opportunities to develop their musical talent and reach their full potential.
> 
>  “Schools will already be delivering musical education as part of our progressive new curriculum, and this additional funding will help break down barriers, such as costs for exams and access to instruments.”

  

 Bethan Sayed AM, Committee Chair of the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee, said:

  

 
> "I'm pleased by this announcement and that more money has been committed to this than initially proposed in the Welsh Government, Plaid Cymru budget agreement. 
> 
>  “People across the sector, throughout Wales, have been calling for extra, targeted support and I hope that the funding announced will start to reverse the decline we've witnessed in music in schools. 
> 
>  "The Education Secretary has worked with me and others in good faith and this is a testament to what can be achieved when there is consensus on an issue."
