Newly published article in BJME by Katya Davisson exposing the Model Music Curriculum ideology. It’s that old problem of music viewed as a collection of autonomous objects. A really good read.

Piece on recent A-level music results with comment from BMERG Birmingham City University BCU Research Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

Debates in Music Teaching Second Edition (Ed Philpott and Spruce) has arrived. An impressive range of thought for the post grad music teacher to engage with. Oh, and the enquiring music teacher in general.

As pupils return to classrooms, a reminder that they'll be coming to music lessons expecting & hoping to experience music. Talk & writing can help make sense of musical experience but it's not the most important thing. Wishing all music teachers well. Be brave. Put music first.
