Hey Scholastic, the role of music education in our schools is NOT up for debate! Here is a letter I wrote in response to the debate section in a recent publication of Scholastic News. #musiceducation #musiced #musicmatters #scholastic #scholasticnews #useyourteachervoice

Is there a measurement for music potential? And can we accurately measure that at from the age of 11? Ralph Allwood shares his thoughts below, but I would also be interested in what others think? ?? How would you measure music potential in a young person?

It's great to see that the BRIT?Awards are committed to making the show more inclusive, responding proactively to last year’s feedback by taking concerted actions for 2024. Nice one Dr Jo Twist OBE (she/her) YolanDa Brown OBE DL and the BPI team. #BRITs The 60 / 40 gender split in favour of female artists for the nominees in the Artist of the Year category is one of the standout developments following last year’s controversy. Doubling the number of nominations for Artist of the Year, International Artist of the Year and?introduction of R&B as its own genre award are also positive steps forward, together with greater transparency in setting out the makeup and demographics of the Voting Academy. Plus the selection of Youth Music funded partner Saffron Records as the 'Official Supported Non-Profit for 2024' for the BRIT Awards & Mercury Prize is brilliant to see. It’s important now to build on this positive momentum as there’s more to be done to ensure a creative, diverse, and inclusive music industry. For?young people, it’s imperative they see people like them represented in the nominations, awards and wider music industries. From a wide range of backgrounds in terms of gender, ethnicity, disability and socioeconomic background. It’s about young people having role models representing them and their lives both on and off stage. ? It’s also great for creativity too. Greater diversity produces greater music. Artists from a range of backgrounds create songs and lyrics often expressing their own lived experiences, challenges and observations on society. This provides us with rich, thoughtful music from a multitude of voices, platforming the diversity and creativity of the UK. ? And it all starts at the grassroots, supporting young people at the earliest age to make, learn and then earn in music. This is the national ecosystem we support and invest in at Youth Music and we ask the music industries to do the same with us. This in turn will create the very pipeline of diverse creative talent that’s being called for. ????

I had the pleasure this week to sit on a panel to discuss Early Music in New York, past, present, and future and I thank the Early Music Foundation and Early Music America for the privilege. I touched on several issues that still plague the field with respect to ethnic diversity and that of black and brown musicians, among other things. Yes, there are more ethnically diverse players in the field now, but there is more work to be done to make sure there is representation in the field across the board. Today I had the pleasure of attending the Black Orchestral Network 2024 Summit and, low and behold, this was also the topic of discussion with respect to managing initiatives to increase diversity in every aspect of the field of classical music. The discussion focused on how to create equitable auditions, how to build community and financial support by increasing board, donor, and staff diversity, how to identify ways in which all of us can work together to break the stigma that comes with “white fragility,” and how to find ways in which we can reach a benchmark to celebrate black creative expression in the field rather than perpetuating the idea that this should be noted as extraordinary. Chi-chi Nwanoku, Founder of Chineke!. double bassist, broadcaster, writer, and mentor, spoke about the Berlin Conference of 1884, at which European Nations discussed how to divide up the continent of Africa among them. She brought to our attention that those nations sitting at the table reaped the benefits while those African countries that were not invited might consider themselves on the menu. All that to say, we need to have more change agents at the table alongside musicians of color to make the case for a more equitable field. We also need to respect the fact that musicians of color did not choose this field to right the wrongs of discrimination but chose the field because of a passion for making music. To work efficiently toward our goal, we need to see a larger and more diverse pool of advocates involved in every aspect of our field to move the DEI initiative forward, maintain it, and retain it as a high priority. https://lnkd.in/e4m-FhpF
