Mae’r gweithdy Merthyr Institute for the Blind (MTIB) ym Mhentre\-bach yn rhan o gonsortiwm sy’n cyflogi gweithwyr anabl a difreintiedig i gydosod offerynnau ar gyfer disgyblion ysgolion cynradd fel rhan o’r gwasanaeth cerddoriaeth cenedlaethol newydd.


Sicrhaodd consortiwm PMusic Cymru, sy’n cynnwys MTIB, Elite Solutions a Warwick Music, y contract £500,000 fel rhan o system brynu newydd a roddwyd ar waith gan Lywodraeth Cymru mewn partneriaeth â Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru. Roedd cais llwyddiannus y consortiwm yn perthyn i gategori neilltuedig – wedi’i gyfyngu i weithdai gwarchodol lle mae o leiaf 30% o’r gweithwyr yn anabl neu’n ddifreintiedig.


Bydd PMusic yn cydosod 35,000 o offerynnau carbon niwtral pBuzz (trombonau plastig) ac 18,000 o pCorders (recordyddion plastig) yn barod i’w darparu i ysgolion ym mis Medi. Bydd pob disgybl ym Mlwyddyn 3 yn cael y cyfle i roi cynnig ar yr offerynnau pres a’r chwythbrennau lefel mynediad hyn fel rhan o’r elfen ‘hyfforddiant dosbarth cyfan’ o’r Cynllun Cerddoriaeth Cenedlaethol a lansiwyd yn ddiweddar ar gyfer Addysg Cerddoriaeth Cymru.


Dywedodd Rebecca Evans, y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol:



> Mae’n wych gweld yr offerynnau hyn yn cael eu cydosod a’u pecynnu yma ym Merthyr, ac rwy’n falch iawn bod MITB ac Elite Solutions wedi gallu creu llawer o swyddi newydd a diogelu rhai sy’n bodoli eisoes yng Nghymru drwy gais llwyddiannus PMusic.
> 
> 
> Mae’r contract hwn yn dangos sut y gallwn ddefnyddio cyllid i ychwanegu gwerth cymdeithasol a hyrwyddo cynaliadwyedd. Ar yr un pryd, rydym wedi sicrhau caiff yr offerynnau hyn eu cynhyrchu ar raddfa genedlaethol ac mewn ffordd sy’n sicrhau gwerth am arian.


Dywedodd Steven Greenall, Prif Weithredwr Grŵp Warwick Music, sef partner arweiniol consortiwm PMusic Cymru:


“Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud prosiect o’r radd flaenaf yn bosibl a fydd yn golygu bod degau ar filoedd o blant yng Nghymru yn cael mynediad am y tro cyntaf erioed at offerynnau cerdd carbon niwtral sydd wedi ennill sawl gwobr, ac a fydd yn cael eu cydosod ym Merthyr Tudful.



> Rydym wedi mwynhau gweithio gyda’n partneriaid y MTIB ac Elite Solutions, wrth weld cylch buddsoddi cadarnhaol sydd o fudd i blant Cymru, ysgolion Cymru, economi Cymru a chyflogaeth i bobl ddall, anabl a difreintiedig. Mae astudiaethau ymchwil yn dangos y bydd canlyniadau i blant yn gwella’n sylweddol pan fydd ganddynt fynediad at bynciau creadigol o ansawdd uchel. Mae’r prosiect hwn yn batrwm y mae’r byd addysg cerddoriaeth yn ei wylio gyda diddordeb brwd.


Dywedodd Chris Llewelyn, Prif Weithredwr CLlLC:



> Rydym yn falch o weithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ar y strategaeth genedlaethol hon i gaffael a chydosod offerynnau yng Nghymru drwy fuddsoddi mewn offerynnau cynaliadwy ac o ansawdd rhagorol a wneir ym Merthyr Tudful. Bydd yr offerynnau’n cael eu cyflwyno i blant mewn ysgolion ledled Cymru i helpu i gefnogi’r nodau ar gyfer y Gwasanaeth Cerdd Cenedlaethol Newydd. Bydd yr offerynnau hyn yn galluogi dysgwyr ifanc i brofi llawenydd cerddoriaeth drwy chwarae eu hofferyn cerdd cyntaf.
> 
> 
> Hoffwn ddiolch i gonsortiwm PMusic Cymru i gyd sydd wedi creu’r offerynnau gwych hyn i ddisgyblion ledled Cymru tra hefyd yn sicrhau bod llawer o swyddi yn cael eu cefnogi a’u creu yn y broses.

The Merthyr Institute for the Blind (MTIB) workshop in Pentrebach is part of a consortium employing disabled and disadvantaged workers to assemble instruments for primary school pupils as part of the new national music service.


The PMusic Cymru consortium, which consists of MTIB, Elite Solutions and Warwick Music, secured the £500k contract as part of a new purchasing system put in place by the Welsh Government in partnership with the Welsh Local Government Association. The consortium’s successful bid came under a reserved category –limited to sheltered workshops where at least 30% of the employees are disabled or disadvantaged workers.


PMusic will assemble 35,000 carbon neutral pBuzz instruments (plastic trombones) and 18,000 pCorders (plastic recorders) ready to deliver to schools in September. All pupils in Year 3 will have the opportunity to try these entry level brass and woodwind instruments as part of the ‘whole class tuition’ element of the recently launched National Music Plan for Music Education in Wales.


Rebecca Evans, Minister for Finance and Local Government, said:



> It is wonderful to be able to see these fantastic instruments being assembled and packaged here in Merthyr, and I am delighted that both MTIB and Elite Solutions have been able to secure and create many new and existing Welsh jobs through PMusic’s successful bid.
> 
> 
> This contract demonstrates how we can use funding to add social value and promote sustainability. At the same time, we have ensured these instruments will be produced on a national scale and in a way that represents value for money.


Steven Greenall, Chief Executive of Warwick Music Group, lead partner in the PMusic Cymru consortium said:



> The Welsh Government has made possible a world\-beating project that will see tens of thousands of children in Wales having access to award\-winning and carbon\-neutral musical instruments for the very first time, assembled in Merthyr Tydfil.
> 
> 
> We have enjoyed working with our partners the Merthyr Tydfil Institute for the Blind and Elite, seeing a positive cycle of investment that benefits Welsh children, Welsh schools, the Welsh economy and employment for blind, disabled and disadvantaged people. Research studies demonstrate that outcomes for children will improve substantially when they have access to high quality creative subjects. This project is a blueprint that the music education world is watching with keen interest.


Chris Llewelyn, WLGA Chief Executive said:



> We are proud to work with the Welsh Government on this national strategy to procure and assemble instruments in Wales by investing in excellent quality and sustainable instruments made in Merthyr Tydfil. The instruments will be delivered to children in primary schools across Wales to help support the aims of the new National Music Service. These instruments will enable young learners to experience the joy of music through playing their first musical instruments.
