400 freelancers gathered today in parliament square, to state their case. (Safely). Their discipline & the sound created brought tears. They are viable & visible and desperate to safely get back to work! work with them #freelancers #letmusiclive @letmusicliveuk #mars

I am very grateful to receive this honour. Thank you. This meaningful public recognition encourages me to deepen my commitment to music, to playing and to providing enrichment, inspiration and variation to the education system that serves communities throughout the UK.

My mum was told something similar. Something along the lines of ‘don’t waste her brain on music. She should be focused on a real career/real job’. Music/classical music/violin playing is BY FAR the most complex thing I have ever tried to do at school.

“Music is a hobby, it is not a career. It will not be supported by the school. I will not allow children to leave school to take graded exams. We are only supporting children’s learning.” Unacceptable comment from a headteacher. theguardian.com/education/2019…

Proud of all the love-filled chat going on on Twitter #WeAreScotland . Countering vacuous hate speech is a civil obligation
