Very proud for the new trial system we piloted at @WarwickshireCCC being deemed a success. 40 players we'd never seen before offered places on performance programmes. Still some areas we can improve but hopefully this is a big step in the right direction.

Music isn’t a 2nd class subject, music teachers aren’t 2nd class teachers, and music isn’t just a nice little extra. Music is core, music is fundamental to a holistic and meaningful education, and music teachers make such a positive and lifelong impact on the lives of so many.
