Not engaging on Twitter since it started making me sad but sharing things about music & education that may be helpful to some.

Amazing. My clickbaity-titled @TEDxOxford talk “The Science of Dubstep” (really a #MusicEd #ArtsEd #Creativity advocacy piece) now around 2/3 million views! https://t.co/7QyVlRnSDZ #education #EdTech @SydneyCon @Sydney_Uni @TEDTalks

Got a new phone & didn’t install Twitter/X so that might be it for me. I especially miss my music ed gurus like @DrFautley @aakallio @ethanhein et al so DM me if you’re on a happier platform. Meanwhile I’ll be live-Tooting my responses to the second Draft NSW 7-10 Music Syllabus

As if we hadn’t had enough family sadness this week, my studio assistant, cuddle-friend & chief purrer Praya suffered a collapsed & coagulated lung & had to be put down. Humberstones need some emotional time off now please.

Professor Martin Fautley of the Birmingham Music Education Research Group (at BCU) untangles what ‘cultural capital’ means to the various stakeholders. https://t.co/0qk0zuBR9i

@JamesHumbers @MatthewHindson @patnaoumgames @TwoPointStudios Oh no. 😂 I expect YOUR review soon.

@StevesMusicRoom Another myth - introverts aren’t good at public speaking or leadership. It just costs more social battery…

[@[email protected] @JamesHumbers]

@bennjordan Yeah Edge is fine but the news stuff in both the browser and the Windows 11 sidebar is horrible even if you try to train it.

Very excited to hear changes to the draft Music Syllabus 7-10 from NESA via DoE friends yesterday. It sounds like a really thorough response that addresses all of the main criticisms in the report I contributed to. Doesn’t meet all recommendations but one step at a time!

@IndieGames_Muso @MatthewHindson @patnaoumgames I spoke to soon - Two Point Campus on 50% off this week! Just bought it! https://t.co/DEqiz6rzMC @TwoPointStudios

@IndieGames_Muso @MatthewHindson @patnaoumgames I went to buy the campus game but it was a bit Exy…

[@[email protected] @JamesHumbers]

@IndieGames_Muso @MatthewHindson @patnaoumgames Going on your review, I think people like you, Matthew & I will be getting in-jokes that others might not … and also a dark humour about the state of tertiary education management?

[@[email protected] @JamesHumbers]

@IndieGames_Muso @MatthewHindson @patnaoumgames (Specifically because I loved your review!)

[@[email protected] @JamesHumbers]

@MusicOfLee Probably not relevant nowadays, but the first lesson we got in the BMus (Comp) at Exeter in 1993 with Prof Phil Grange was “use a ruler”. And everyone who didn’t bring one was invited to go to the shops.

Having so much fun trying to get DALL-E to make a photo of the Limerick Terry Wogan statue disguised as an Osprey for @Rubberbandits & the Limerick town council… they are so bad, they’re good.

[@[email protected] @JamesHumbers]

@drmichaelhooper @UniofExeter Yep my final year

@JaneHumberstone Not you!

TFW your jet lag decides you’ll get obsessed with epistemology & dominant discourses at 3am & make more slides for your lecture today.

[@[email protected] @JamesHumbers]

@MrNunesteach Just gave my first 4 classes & used Dall-E to make all the images for the slides. Was thinking I’d try this in @canva next if it’s built in, but not sure how good animation is in Canva slides.
