All schools (including academies) required to follow the national curriculum - this means ALL schools must teach music. It’s a no-brainer, of course, but worth celebrating nonetheless. schoolsweek.co.uk/labour-edu…

Many congratulations to the new Labour Govt. Please keep listening to @ISM_music and those who work in music. Together we can sort out the huge post Brexit challenges of performing in Europe, music ed, the urgent need to scrap the EBacc and much more. @KeeleyMP @bphillipsonMP

Strange assertion from Tim Shipman @thetimes in his article on Brexit on Sunday. As far as I know there has been no agreement for the passage of creatives such as rock bands on tour between UK and the EU. Has this come from @DCMS I wonder? @ISM_music

Imogen Holst was a champion of new music and a remarkable composer. In September NMC will release a major new album of her previously unrecorded - and largely unheard - choral and orchestral music, with @BBCCO & the @BBCSingers conducted by @BatonAlice. We can't wait!

This means a lot coming from an author who writes so passionately about music I love ❤️ thank you David!
Dr David Vernon@DrDavidVernon6 Mar 2024
Congratulations to Leah Broad for winning the RPS's Storytelling Award for QUARTET. Even if you're not much interested in the composers she covers (and you should be, for they have some absolutely fascinating music), their stories are vital to tell and here they are told vitally.
