As far as I understand it, the money that's being put into primary schools music teaching is being taken away from secondary schools. So, the various secondary schools that were encouraged / obliged to develop a "specialist" focus to become some kind of "centre of excellence" (eg in music or performing arts) will now be back at the beginning.

What's the point of encouraging music and performance at a younger age if it can't be supported in the education system as the kids get older?
