Future of Music Education Debate

/in , /by

As co-chair of the APPG for Music Education, it was great to secure a debate on the Future of Music Education.

There has been a steady decline in music teachers, music hubs are being stretched thin, and music education funding is at a standstill. With more direction and leadership from the Government, we can ensure that music is accessible and available to all.

Thank you to the APPG and ISM for your help preparing for this debate.

Mulberry Academy Woodside in Parliament

/in , , /by

It was wonderful to meet talented students from Mulberry Academy Woodside today in Parliament, as they take part in the final of the Solutions for the Planet Big Ideas Competition.

It was great to see the students representing Southgate and Wood Green on a national level and presenting their big idea, Ship Valley: transforming unused shipping containers in to portable, affordable homes.

Well done Mulberry Academy Woodside and good luck!
