The magic of music, and how it can transform your school

By

Jonathan and Lucy are joined by Ross Garrod from @PracticePalMus as they talk about "The magic of music, and how it can transform your school."

‍

Ross Garrod is a music teacher and determined to help budding musicians fall—and stay—in love with learning music. Ross teamed up with Cambridge-educated computer scientist James King, to see if they could apply technology to reduce access issues for music students in a convenient and user-friendly way. Practice Pal, transforms how schools, teachers, parents, and students move through music education together.

They discuss:

The powerful effect that music has on children.
The research around how music can help increase cognitive ability, self esteem, and children's ability to work collaboratively.
The magic of music and how it can transform your school.

Quote of the day:

“On teaching. the job seems to require the sort of skills one would need to pilot a bus full of live chickens backwards, with no brakes, down a rocky road through the Andes while simultaneously providing colourful & informative commentary on the scenery.” Franklin Habit
