@RonnieLee555 Tweets have a limited number of digits so unfortunately the sentiment was the priority here, apologies that colloquialism won out in this instance. Thanks for your post

[MusicMattersNI @ni_MusicMatters]

I'm not sure if any teacher/educationalist could take another year with Covid restrictions. Teaching is hard enough. I def know, that no matter what happens, our children should NEVER have to deal with these current restrictions ever again. #fullcurriculum #musiceducation

[MusicMattersNI @ni_MusicMatters]

This is what meaningful music education experiences can offer for all ages. Lets never forget the many benefits plus the pure joy from playing an instrument, singing that song, listening to that tune... #musiceducation #northernireland #equalopportunities

[MusicMattersNI @ni_MusicMatters]

Why are our the young people in NI disadvantaged?THOUSANDS stopped from accessing these benefits due to some vague reasoning by the PHA which TOTALLY opposes all of UK & Ireland's scientific advice. They deserve a full explanation #musiceducation @BelTel @BBCnireland @irish_news

@McCrossanMLA @nichildcom @SSUofNI @sppedwards @coreyfrench @GrathBernard @ColinSDLP @lee_hawkse @Ciarant1990 @SineadBradleySD @MarkHDurkan @QUBSDLP Please @McCrossanMLA help address the unacceptable situation music students are facing in NI right now. Mental health and educational pathways for these young people has not been considered. NI children disadvantaged again, PS and Post PS schools. UK & Ireland ALL music allowed

[MusicMattersNI @ni_MusicMatters]

This is the reality of NI young people not being allowed to play a wind instrument/sing in schools? GCSE students at a serious disadvantage: completely different physical factors with the cold air etc. #MusicEducation @Ed_Authority @niexecutive @naomi_long @Chris_Lyttle HELP

[MusicMattersNI @ni_MusicMatters]

The conflicting directive to this by @peterweirmla & the @Education_NI is ludicrous. Those who have advised on this decision should be sacked. An embarrassing, uninformed decision, you should all be ashamed #education #northernireland #musiceducation

@BBCNewsNI @peterweirmla @niexecutive @StephenNolan can you add a voice of awareness? All music lessons going ahead in UK and Ireland but @peterweirmla @Education_NI want to discriminate against our youth here in NI? No scientific justification

[MusicMattersNI @ni_MusicMatters]

@BBCNewsNI Please acknowledge the fact that nearly 4500 people have signed a petition to rectify this non-sensical decision? Northern Ireland children and young people disadvantaged again. Rest of Uk and Ireland have a full return to music TODAY!! @peterweirmla @niexecutive

So face to face singing and ALL forms of music lessons are being delivered in schools in England, Wales and Scotland from Monday yet Northern Ireland is regressing to the first lockdown like last March? #wheresthescience? @Voicedoctor_uk will beg to differ @CMO_NI @robbeorn
