Wonderfully compelling recording of an excerpt of ‘A Child of Our Time’ on BBC Radio 3 What a piece, never ceases to stop me in my tracks

Gone back to bed with my tea and book for an hour. Much needed after a draining week. Solidarity with everyone in the thick of NEA and exam prep at the moment 💪

Marking in the sunshine. Still marking but altogether more pleasant.

Loving our new display celebrating women in music. Lovely resource by Linton Stephens inspired us!

Have you seen these amazing funded PhD opportunities at BCU? They include 3 great music education PhDs. Do take a look! bcu.ac.uk/student-info/t…

Ten pin bowling before 11am, the place is rammed and they are not serving coffee. First world problem but I’m feeling very sorry for myself right now

Very pleased to report that BCU Research has three - yes THREE - Music Education PhD studentships available, two listed under ADM Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and one under HELS BCU HELS on this page: bcu.ac.uk/student-info/t… NB I've retired now, so can't answer detailed Q's - sorry!

Find this fascinating. Is it possibly to get a primary/secondary break down Teacher Tapp? Or was this question only put out to primary?

Just realised this may have looked like an April fool! It’s not I promise! An exciting role going at Trinity Academy , please share and DM me any questions!

London is always impressive. Even in the rain with a 7 year old

I went on a fantastic PD recently about world music pedagogy led by Dr Jennifer Walden. The take away for me was to remember to insert the words ‘in western music’ or ‘in this music’ into my teaching.

Ok so on everyone’s advice I’ve added names and dates. And a QR code that takes you directly to the playlist on Spotify. DM me if you’d like a copy for your music dept and I’ll see if it’s enough to get printed up. I’ll only charge printing cost plus p&p.

This is a great opportunity for an excellent music educator in Bristol. A supportive school that champions music and the performing arts. Great GCSE numbers and peri team

Improvising still holds this unobtainable aura for some. Its easily accessible! All we need is for it to develop a collective pedagogy and platform to develop consistency, not a one off workshop or afterthought. There's untapped potential with improv for music making.

Exciting times for Cathedral Schools Trust and Bristol Beacon
