It's great to see the development and investment in men's mental health. I hope this work continues.

"Black British barber shops have long been a sanctuary for black men and youth, not only to transform their hair, but to talk about love, financial woes and even mental health".

Music is:

✅ Music Education
✅ Social Education
✅ Holistic Education
✅ Lifelong Education
✅ Personal Education
✅ Discipline Education
✅ Academic Education
✅ Community Education
✅ Irreplaceable Education

It doesn’t matter how you look at it - music is essential.

Had the privilege of being part of this project improvising with and getting to perform Ozzy Moysey's beautiful compositions. We made it on to Radio 6! I'm not sure how many oboes make it on to Radio 6 but glad to be one of them 🤪

Looking for insights into dyslexia and managing dyslexia in a singing/choral context. Does anyone have hacks from a pedagogical or personal perspective for making rehearsals more inclusive? I'm aware of the use of overlays and coloured paper and adjusting text styling on music...
