English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to thank the Minister for his statement today. We welcome this statement, as we feel Government financial input into music for young people is long overdue. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Rhianon Passmore for the work that she's done in the last Senedd. But we also - . It still remains that we have some practical concerns about your announcement today, Minister. There has always been a postcode lottery in regard to access to music facilities and music learning opportunities across our council borders. This inequality of opportunity has to end, but is your proposal the right way to go about it, or is this another sticking plaster from this Government, as this really does need to be a long-term, sustainable plan? Music provision currently differs radically between all 22 Welsh local authorities, and the postcode lottery at the moment is very real. For too long, this has been left to cash-strapped councils trying to rescue these services by themselves, and individuals - an example of this being the late Peter Clarke, former Monmouthshire County Council councillor, who was a huge advocate of Gwent Music, which helped secure that musical opportunity to a degree in Gwent. But it really has taken individuals on a crusade until now across our councils in Wales to save these musical opportunities for our children, which is clearly wrong. It is clear that music education in Wales needs rejuvenation, and this National Music Service has the potential to be the catalyst for that, accessibility, of course, being a key factor in order to ensure success - to instruments and lessons. So, I hope that transport costs for those living in rural areas will be taken into account to ensure that equality of opportunity and access to those services and instruments - or will there be delivery costs for the instruments? I'm just wondering about those practical concerns that we have. The chance to use a free instrument could provide an invaluable experience to young people across Wales, and set them on that musical pathway, but there are still big questions as to how this would work in practice. We welcome, obviously, the six months of lessons for children, but could you please clarify where they're coming from? Is that bodies like Gwent Music that the musicians are coming from? I just wanted some clarity on that for myself. If, after six months, a child or young person wants to carry on those lessons, how will they be financially supported to do so, so they don't just get that snippet of six months if they do want to take it further? Will they have vouchers? Will they have discounted services? Because, obviously, after that six months, those same financial concerns will remain for many of our families. Also, prompted by speaking to my own child this morning about this, in terms of in school, when will they be delivered? Will they be delivered in lunch times, in break times, or as part of the new curriculum? Because I'm very aware of many children that would be put off by having them in their break times, which they value, obviously, greatly for their outdoor exercise and fresh air. So, that's the last thing that we want to happen. But if it is part of the curriculum, how will that fit into the school day, because this is three to 16? I'm just particularly concerned about, in secondary schools, how would that fit into the school day. And finally, Deputy Presiding Officer, Minister, your Government has said that children from low-income families and those with additional learning needs will be given priority, but I'm just wondering how you're going to identify those children now, obviously, with free school meals going to be available for all. So, I just wanted to ask if you could answer those practical concerns that we have today, and I look forward to your answers, because we all want this National Music Service to succeed. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad heddiw. Rydym ni'n croesawu'r datganiad hwn, gan ein bod ni'n teimlo ei bod yn hen bryd cael mewnbwn ariannol gan y Llywodraeth i gerddoriaeth ar gyfer pobl ifanc. Hoffwn i ddiolch hefyd i Rhianon Passmore am y gwaith y mae wedi'i wneud yn y Senedd ddiwethaf. Ond yr ydym ni hefyd - . Mae gennym ni rai pryderon ymarferol o hyd am eich cyhoeddiad heddiw, Gweinidog. Mae loteri cod post wedi bodoli erioed o ran cyfle i fanteisio ar gyfleusterau cerddoriaeth a chyfleoedd dysgu cerddoriaeth ar draws ffiniau ein cynghorau. Rhaid i'r anghydraddoldeb cyfle hwn ddod i ben, ond ai eich cynnig chi yw'r ffordd iawn o fynd ati, ynteu ymateb annigonol arall yw hwn gan y Llywodraeth hon, gan fod gwir angen i hwn fod yn gynllun cynaliadwy, hirdymor? Ar hyn o bryd, mae'r ddarpariaeth gerddoriaeth yn wahanol iawn rhwng pob un o'r 22 awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru, ac mae'r loteri cod post ar hyn o bryd yn wirioneddol real. Dros gyfnod rhy hir, mae'r baich wedi ei roi ar gynghorau sy'n brin o arian i geisio achub y gwasanaethau hyn ar eu pen eu hunain, ac unigolion - enghraifft o hyn oedd y diweddar Peter Clarke, cyn gynghorydd Cyngor Sir Mynwy, a oedd yn eiriolwr enfawr dros Gerdd Gwent, a helpodd i sicrhau'r cyfle cerddorol hwnnw i raddau yng Ngwent. Ond tan nawr, mae hi wir wedi cymryd unigolion yn ymgyrchu ledled ein cynghorau yng Nghymru i achub y cyfleoedd cerddorol hyn i'n plant, nad yw'n iawn, yn amlwg. Mae'n amlwg bod angen adfywio addysg gerddoriaeth yng Nghymru, ac mae gan y Gwasanaeth Cerddoriaeth Cenedlaethol hwn y potensial i fod yn gatalydd ar gyfer hynny, mae hygyrchedd, wrth gwrs, yn ffactor allweddol er mwyn sicrhau llwyddiant - i offerynnau a gwersi. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd costau trafnidiaeth i'r rhai sy'n byw mewn ardaloedd gwledig yn cael eu hystyried er mwyn sicrhau cyfle cyfartal a chyfle i fanteisio ar y gwasanaethau a'r offerynnau hynny - neu a fydd costau cyflenwi ar gyfer yr offerynnau? Rwy'n meddwl am y pryderon ymarferol hynny sydd gennym ni. Gallai'r cyfle i ddefnyddio offeryn am ddim fod yn brofiad amhrisiadwy i bobl ifanc ledled Cymru, a'u gosod ar y llwybr cerddorol hwnnw, ond mae cwestiynau mawr yn parhau ynghylch sut y byddai hyn yn gweithio'n ymarferol. Yn amlwg, rydym ni'n croesawu'r chwe mis o wersi i blant, ond a allech chi egluro o ble y maen nhw'n dod? Ydy'r cerddorion yn dod o gyrff fel Cerdd Gwent? Roeddwn i eisiau cael rhywfaint o eglurder ynglŷn â hynny i mi fy hun. Os bydd plant neu bobl ifanc, ar ôl chwe mis, eisiau parhau â'r gwersi hynny, sut y byddan nhw'n cael cymorth ariannol i wneud hynny, fel nad ydyn nhw dim ond yn cael y chwe mis cryno hynny os byddan nhw eisiau mynd ag ef ymhellach? A fydd ganddyn nhw dalebau? A fydd ganddyn nhw wasanaethau am bris gostyngedig? Oherwydd, yn amlwg, ar ôl y chwe mis hynny, bydd yr un pryderon ariannol yn parhau i lawer o'n teuluoedd. Hefyd, wedi fy ysgogi wrth siarad am hyn â fy mhlentyn fy hun y bore yma, o ran yn yr ysgol, pryd y byddan nhw'n cael eu cyflwyno? A fyddan nhw'n cael eu cyflwyno amser cinio, yn ystod amser egwyl, neu fel rhan o'r cwricwlwm newydd? Oherwydd rwy'n ymwybodol iawn o lawer o blant a fyddai'n colli diddordeb pe baen nhw'n gorfod eu cael yn ystod eu hamseroedd egwyl, y maen nhw'n eu gwerthfawrogi, yn amlwg, yn fawr ar gyfer eu hymarfer awyr agored a'u hawyr iach. Felly, dyna'r peth olaf yr ydym ni eisiau'i weld yn digwydd. Ond os yw'n rhan o'r cwricwlwm, sut y bydd hynny'n cyd-fynd â'r diwrnod ysgol, oherwydd mae hwn ar gyfer tair i 16 oed? Rwy'n pryderu'n benodol, mewn ysgolion uwchradd, sut y byddai hynny'n cyd-fynd â'r diwrnod ysgol. Ac yn olaf, Dirprwy Lywydd, Gweinidog, mae eich Llywodraeth chi wedi dweud y bydd blaenoriaeth yn cael ei rhoi i blant o deuluoedd incwm isel a'r rheini sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, ond tybed sut y byddwch chi'n nodi'r plant hynny nawr, yn amlwg, gan y bydd prydau ysgol am ddim ar gael i bawb. Felly, roeddwn i eisiau gofyn a wnewch chi ateb y pryderon ymarferol hynny sydd gennym ni heddiw, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at eich atebion, oherwydd yr ydym ni i gyd eisiau i'r Gwasanaeth Cerddoriaeth Cenedlaethol hwn lwyddo. Diolch.
