ABSTRACT
Team-working (with local musicians) is helping a lot at our school . . . it’s as though one team is in operation.

Music is a truly living subject – your pupils are likely to be passionate about it, engaged with it and listening to it in their own time. Our challenge as music educators is to harness that connection and inspire pupils to move from passive to active in their musical lives, or to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar in their choices.
