@PeteBHarrison @BSOrchestra excited to be bringing 50 students, including members of our orchestra from Wellsway School to your concert at @Bristol_Beacon on Friday. They can’t wait! #musicdepartmentnightout

@bethunderdown @patchyclouds This woman does other exercise. Search for the straw one - so simple but effective. I often do the siren in the morning on my way to work.

@bethunderdown @patchyclouds Having developed nodules from singing far too loudly and enthusiastically a speech and language therapist recommended this m.youtube.com/watch?v=oSQmH_… it really works.

@TRESAcic @Totterdown_ @paintworks_ @StphilipsForum @EdPlowden @silaseton1 @Thunderbolt_pub Can pedestrians still use it?

Not entirely sure what this 'scheduled construction' is. Does it relate to the tower blocks at Totterdown Bridge? Estimated end time 'unknown'... @Totterdown_ @paintworks_ @StphilipsForum @EdPlowden @silaseton1 @Thunderbolt_pub

@mwrightmusic_ed @TimDPalmer @simonpurcelljaz @tallgirlwgc @MusicTeachers_ @MrPatrickJohns Absolutely. Happy to chat at a later point. Already considering when I’ll start an improv group…

@mwrightmusic_ed @TimDPalmer @simonpurcelljaz @tallgirlwgc @MusicTeachers_ @MrPatrickJohns I’d be happy to chat if you’re still looking.

@mwrightmusic_ed @HuntSchoolMusic @MusicTeacherMag @MusicTeachers_ @JazzInEdUK @tallgirlwgc @akapaulineblack @MrPatrickJohns @MusicEdUK Done. Enjoyed thinking about this. Especially using improvisation in extra-curric. Why have I never thought of this?!

@Wera_Hobhouse Congratulations! If you want to visit a local Music Department you’d be very welcome at Wellsway in Keynsham. Delighted to know you’ll be advocating for us.

Delighted to say that I have become Chair of the APPG for Music Education. I am keen work with all those involved to ensure that the sector can thrive.

@Smithinoz @d_mackrill Bought this book last year and wrote a whole scheme of learning on it. A brilliant book. Arriba is a true classic.

@d_mackrill never change something that works! 28 years later and still a great resource!

@PetrocTrelawny Our Trust of schools has commissioned an oratorio for two junior choirs, a senior choir and orchestra. Story based on the myth of how the River Avon came into being. 400 students performing it in September. The River Avon continues to inspire!

⁦⁦@Futura_Learning⁩ Oratorio rehearsal today. Can’t wait to see the final performance at Bath Forum in September.

Applications close on the 19th for this great Music Teacher post @BCCSMusic It’s a brilliant team, wonderful students and a school that consistently puts music at the heart of its community. Read more on the ad and feel free to DM questions! eteach.com/Jobseekers/NPr…

Really enjoyed @queenchristina_ and @Arifa_Akbar talk today about their memoirs. The books have now been purchased and looking forward to half term reading.

@patchyclouds True story

@ThatMathsMan @Sandeep24574154 I find whiteboards essential in Music GCSE. We listen. They jot down keywords. I give feedback, address misconceptions. Only today I worried they don’t have enough written in a book. But the learning is definitely happening.

@Sandeep24574154 Awesome! Thanks for getting in touch Sandeep. 🙌

Checking for understanding. A mini thread... 🧵 This term, I've had several teachers and HTs say to me that they're doing away with mini whiteboards (MWBs) because it leads to less written work in their maths books. I know I have very little influence but, I'm concerned. 1/n

@jamesmartinchef At the end of our music lesson today a student shared with me an amazing story about an experience he had at the weekend. He LOVES the guitar. 🙏🏼 🎸

We have just published a beautiful arrangement from Jake Alexander of Ukrainian Folk Song "Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon" The Dream Passes By The Windows. The full resource pack including score and learning tracks is available to download free from our website: buff.ly/375uXz6

@Philcastang Open to 13-17 in Keynsham too? Would love to promote with our students if that’s the case.

@MrsGleedMusic @HuntSchoolMusic @MusicTeachers_ Me too!

@HuntSchoolMusic @MusicTeachers_ Mine hasn’t arrived yet! Hoping it arrives soon…

Talk about perfect timing for the start of half term. Blue skies and calm seas here in Northumberland. And breathe…… @MusicTeachers_

@Hawkin3Philippa @VSO_Intl @pceachogoria Wish I liked marmalade! X

Its that time of year again! Thank goodness for the #pressurecooker. Just realised it is fifty years since I first discovered the wonders of the PC whilst doing ⁦@VSO_Intl⁩ ⁦@pceachogoria⁩ in Kenya.
