@jpjsavage This sounds awesome!! I’d love to be involved. My website https://t.co/yzpWf0JZu3. I am a violinist and music education specialist & I run an organisation called Thinking Music which connects primary schools and universities to make music together. Please pass my details along!

A small insight into our time with @BrittenPears this year, and reactions from our audiences. 'Spark' explores, and invokes conversations around, the ups and downs of human connection through music. More to come...

Devastating news about the effect of Covid-19 on music education. Kudos to those who are still managing to share music in schools, but it seems there's a lot of work to be done #music #education
