Ychydig dros flwyddyn yn ôl, cyhoeddodd Huw Lewis, fy rhagflaenydd, ei ymateb i grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen gwasanaethau cerddoriaeth yng Nghymru. Roedd yr adroddiad gwerthfawr hwn yn cynnwys amrywiaeth eang o argymhellion, ar gyfer ysgolion, awdurdodau lleol a Llywodraeth Cymru, i gefnogi strwythur 'pyramid' Cymru ar gyfer datblygu hyfforddiant cerddorol a lleisiol.

 Heddiw rwy'n cyhoeddi adroddiad arall ar y cynnydd a wnaed o ran gweithredu argymhellion y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen.

 Er y gallai gymryd peth amser i weithredu'r argymhellion hyn, mae'r cynnydd sydd wedi'i wneud dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf yn galondid imi, a'r cydweithredu ledled Cymru i ddiogelu ac ymestyn cyfleoedd cerddorol ar gyfer ein plant.

 Rwy'n gwybod bod yna rwydwaith brwd ac ymroddedig o wasanaethau cerddoriaeth ac athrawon cerddoriaeth yng Nghymru, sy'n ysbrydoli ein pobl ifanc i berfformio a gwella eu sgiliau, gan ddod yn fwyfwy hyderus, ac rwyf am eu cefnogi yn hyn. Mewn partneriaeth ag ysgolion, CLlLC a chyrff celfyddydol Cymru, felly, bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i gefnogi gweithgareddau cerddorol ar gyfer pobl ifanc, o'r ystafell ddosbarth i'r ensembles cenedlaethol.

 Mewn partneriaeth ag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith, rwyf wedi sefydlu Gwaddol Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Cerddoriaeth, a fydd yn derbyn £1miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Y Gwaddol Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Cerddoriaeth fydd ein dull hirdymor o gynnig cyfleoedd cerddorol gwell ar gyfer ein pobl ifanc.

 Rydym wedi comisiynu Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru i fynd ati i sefydlu'r gwaddol ac yn gobeithio ei lansio erbyn diwedd y flwyddyn. Caiff y gwaddol ei reoli gan fwrdd elusennol annibynnol.

 Bydd nifer a natur y grantiau a gynigir gan y gronfa yn dibynnu ar fuddsoddiadau partner. Disgwylir i'r gronfa ddechrau cynnig y grantiau o 2020\. Byddwn yn defnyddio dulliau amrywiol; nawdd corfforaethol a diwydiannau, cytundebau untro, cyfraniadau gan unigolion a threthi ar docynnau, fel y gallwn ddechrau cefnogi cymaint o bobl ifanc â phosibl i gael cyfleoedd cerddorol ychwanegol, cyn gynted â phosibl.

 Drwy gydweithio, rwy'n gwybod y gallwn warchod treftadaeth gerddorol wych Cymru, gan ei diogelu ar gyfer y genhedlaeth nesaf, a sicrhau bod ein pobl ifanc yn parhau i elwa ar fywyd diwylliannol sydd â chyfoeth cerddorol a chelfyddydol.

Translation:


 
Just over a year ago my predecessor, Huw Lewis, published his response to the task and finish group on music services in Wales. This valuable report contained a wide range of recommendations, aimed at schools, local authorities and the Welsh Government, to support Wales’ ‘pyramid’ structure for progression of musical and vocal training. 


Today I am publishing an update report on the progress made towards implementing the task and finish group’s recommendations.


While the full implementation of these recommendations may take some time, I am encouraged by the progress that has been made over the last year, working in collaboration across Wales to safeguard and extend musical opportunities for our children.


I know that Wales has a passionate and dedicated network of music services and music teachers, who inspire our young people to perform and grow in confidence and skill, and I want to support them in this task. Therefore, in partnership with schools, the WLGA and the arts organisations of Wales, the Welsh Government will continue to support music activities for young people, all the way from the classroom to the national ensembles.


In partnership with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure, I have established a National Endowment for Music, which will receive a £1 million investment from Welsh Government. The National Endowment for Music is intended to be our long term approach to providing enhanced music opportunities for our young people.


We have commissioned the Arts Council of Wales to begin setting up the endowment and are aiming to launch the Endowment, which will be managed by an independent charitable board, by the end of the year.


The number and nature of grants offered by the fund, which is expected to start issuing them from 2020, will depend on attracting a variety of partner investments. We will engage with a range of approaches; corporate and industry sponsors, one off dedicated deals, individual donors and ticket levies, so  that we can start supporting as many young people as we can to access additional music opportunities, as soon as possible.


I know that working together we can protect Wales’ fantastic musical heritage, securing if for the next generation, and ensuring that our young people continue to benefit from a cultural life that is rich in music and the arts.
