I have such fond memories of playing music at school. It doesn't just give young people joy, it teaches the skills and creativity essential to future learning and work. That's why I will change the curriculum so that all young people have access to music.classicfm.com/music-news/sir…

Sir Keir Starmer: ‘We have lost sight of the value of music and arts in schools’

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer talks listening to Beethoven, playing the flute at Guildhall, and why he believes music should be prioritised in schools.

We’ve said it and read it a million times already today - but still: the MUSIC. Such depth, diversity, artistry, and many more words that won’t fit into a tweet. To say they have done us proud is the definition of ‘understatement’.

BBC orchs still facing 20% cuts, talk of freelancers. So if a school _always_ had 20% supply teachers that would be ok? Freelancers are excellent, but it's not the same as people that work together every day. Ditto teachers. But BBC admin doesn't understand that.
