Great insights into how @LewishamMusic are working on diversifying their workforce, from developing job descriptions with help from @ChangingTracks1, using ‘blind’ recruitment, defining org culture, increasing CPD, and rethinking where job ads are posted and routes into the role

Interesting breakfast catch up with colleagues from Newcastle, North Tyneside, Sunderland and Northumberland about the mutual benefits of linking music services with local authority inclusion agendas. @ChangingTracks1 @hertsmusic #MusicMark22

Can’t wait for this session-sounds really interesting! I think many instrumental teachers consider their role to go beyond preparing young people for concerts and performances 👏🏻👏🏻

A case study of an inclusive instrumental teaching model I led for Hertfordshire Music Service 10 years ago.
We've posted a case study on demonstrating the full value of instrumental music teaching in a secondary school. Have a read on our website: changingtracks.org.uk/case-s… #MusicalInclsion #Instrumentalteaching @musicmarkuk @YouthMusicNet

Delighted to be part of this project, which Hertfordshire led for 15 music services from 2021-2. Instrumental music teaching can do lots more than preparation for performance.
How can music services/hubs demonstrate the wide-ranging impact of music in ways that schools & local authorities understand & value? 17 orgs ran action research to explore this in a trauma-informed musical nurture group programme: bit.ly/CTNGrpt #MusicalInclusion

Brief conversation on benefits of targeted/universal activities in Youth Music Fund C meeting plenary yesterday. How much musical inclusion practice could happen in curriculum music and WCET, if assessment measured how these are valued by young people? #MusicalInclusion

What a pleasure to see the fantastic results of our @ChangingTracks1 Nurture Group project @sherwoodprimary.
There is music in every child, we just need to listen. ♥
Music Nurture Group performed their own arrangement of ‘Stand By Me’ this morning - so proud of our amazingly talented children! Thank you Sally for being such an inspiration! @mertonmusic @UNICEF_uk @Artsmarkaward @ChangingTracks1 #music #Wellbeing #collaboration #inclusion
