'We found that students wanted to get a qualification. It was their mark that they'd achieved. Even when formal education itself had left them traumatised.' Nick Stillwell - Supajam The Great Escape #musiced

When you systematically pull the Arts from the curriculum in favour of making sure every child knows a fronted adverbial from a reverse adjectnounfullstop, I guess 4th is quite good.

Here is a blog written by my daughter. As it's mental health awareness month, I thought I'd share it. There's an honesty between teenage siblings that is rarely shared. onedaymh.co.uk/journal/a-very…

Interesting and useful read. I guess one of the issues is how many hours are given for music curriculum delivery, particularly if the extra-curricular playing/learning of classical instruments is less prevalent than it was?

For the record, I'm fully in support of Britain's commitment to help all refugees escaping persecution. Still maintain that Rwanda's actually about silicon.

Encouraging to see there continues to be a focus on the inequity of access to orchestral playing experiences from beginner to advanced. Individual schools are unlikely to be the solution. FREE access through Hub, MAT, school collaboration is already, theoretically, achievable.

What do we mean when we say 'non-musician'. What does this mean? What impact does it have for those who put themselves in that category? Just one thing I discuss on this course. Music Education Solutions Music Teachers Association Music Teacher musiceducationsolutions.co.uk/product/second…

Oxford Music Service you say? I was part of the post-Mathieson Hallam era. Hadn't appreciated quite what opportunities I'd had until I got to University. Privatisation rarely democratises access I believe...
