Gosh, this is a powerful read: "It is time for the government in England to re-engage the experts in teacher education, the people who have delivered so successfully at scale for so long, yet for who more than fourteen years have been insulted... (1/2)

@jrlsavage Is that near Ipswich?

Next time you get a bargain musical instrument online, remember that someone, somewhere is paying the cost. PMT closes all 11 stores across the UK today: https://t.co/aTYqntvU3s

More info about the GAK closure and the impact on lead music hubs (they were a capital grant supplier) here: https://t.co/WbtX145qri

[Jonathan Savage @jpjsavage]

Hard to believe that @GAK_CO_UK has gone into administration and is no longer trading. What's happening to the capital grant orders that some hubs have placed there?

[Jack Worth @JackWorthNFER]

Latest ITT statistics somewhat positive: most secondary subjects - esp. shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut

But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)

[Jonathan Savage @jpjsavage]

We have a brilliant, time limited offer on Roland Go Piano 88s. If any music hub is looking to purchase multiples of these, please get in touch today and I will tell you more.

[Jonathan Savage @jpjsavage]

@askrichardarts @LCRMusicBoard The new lead music hub is part of it. But it is something much wider about the place of music in the city as a whole and building on its amazing cultural heritage.

[Jonathan Savage @jpjsavage]

I had an exciting evening in Liverpool on Thursdsay, starting my work on the newly constituted @LCRMusicBoard. Here's the details if you want to know what we are all about! https://t.co/IrScCkLJpc
