We should judge a society by its treatment of the vulnerable and its capacity to pursue beauty and truth. It seems all are becoming bankrupt. theguardian.com/culture/2024/m…

The Government cannot claim to be widening access to Music Education when a Minister has bothered to attend just 1 meeting of the National Plan for Music Education Monitoring Board since it was established 9 months ago. Music in schools is in crisis and kids are missing out.

I find myself in a quite frankly surreal position, tweeting about the possible collapse of our civilization, and the insanity of our leadership, in failing to address the climate and ecological crisis. I'm no ideologue, and just someone fascinated by the natural world. 1/🧵

Brilliant thread, deeply relevant to the teaching and learning of improvisation in music. Cognitive Load Theory attracts criticism amongst some music educators but it is a function of improvisation. Worth knowing the science amongst/within the art.

The years of hurt continue, now stretching towards 60 years for England’s men team. The pain this time came from Spain, more inventive, more decisive. Footballing matadors put John Bull to the sword. Spain have lit up Euro 2024, England have rather laboured through Germany. Spain
