Very pleased to see this: schools required from September 2024 to publish their music development plans. One part of a large jigsaw, but an important one nonetheless. gov.uk/government/pub…

Arts courses and departments are dropping at an alarming rate. Demoralised teaching staff are stretched thinner and thinner, reducing contact hours and quality of experience. This attack on arts education has to stop. Students and staff deserve better. 1/3

Oh look, the question of opera's supposed elitism is in the news again! Good job I have written a whole book on the subject, "Someone Else's Music: Opera and the British", out next year from Oxford Music! Caroline Hardman James Marriott The Times and The Sunday Times

New horizons beckon. I finish at Brookes on Thursday and on Friday I take up a 13-month fixed-term Research Residency at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, which will allow me a much-appreciated period in which to write, publish and consolidate future research plans.

We are very sad to say good-bye to Dr Barbara Eichner and Prof Alexandra Wilson today, who are made to leave the University after they were part of the music team for 15 and 19 years respectively.

Reading this very interesting book on Oxford's musical life. I was surprised and pleased to see that Susan Wollenberg's chapter about Faculty of Music also makes reference to the "strong research culture" in music, particularly opera and pop, Oxford Brookes University (see next tweet). 1/

External parties were evidently very aware of the strong research culture we had OBERTO. It is a great pity that Brookes showed no appetite for holding on to this, even when constructive means of saving staff were proposed. Music at Brookes

Fascinating paper at the Music and the University conference about how music works at St Andrew's. What a brilliant place! No formal music degree but many, many students taking music modules, music embedded in other subjects, huge amount of music-making, fantastic facilities. 1/
