Here’s the sound of 575 secondary students singing and playing together - part of the finale of today’s Secondary Music Festival, with the brilliant Pete Letanka conducting his ‘Hope and Glory’. So exciting!

We're getting excited about all our Year 5 students (around 1400 of them) performing Hansel and Gretel in Bridlington, Corby, Grimsby, Northampton and Rugby next month in partnership with @RoyalOperaHouse & @Voices_Found. Come and see them!

The theme for #CSTconf23 was ‘belonging’.

And what better way to foster a sense of belonging than joining a choir full of teachers!

That’s what some teachers at @DRETnews have been doing.

Their chief exec @Stuart_Burns15 tells us more (though not through song!)

So moved by encountering JFK’s words about the importance of the Arts last night at the Kennedy Center. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for today’s political leaders to articulate (or even simply understand) this?

[David Ross @sgtoyne]

Where music is at the centre of a school, there’s always a great music teacher whose ‘can do’ spirit illumines the whole school. Here’s the brilliant @TimWilson80 at @QuayAcademy. #musicteachers #musiceducation

[Quay Academy @QuayAcademy]
