At 1am on Friday I was practising @RoyalAlbertHall & someone shouted up ‘play The Toccata’. I did, & offered to show them the organ. Well, turns out they were @si_bonobo’s band. 12 hrs later they had written me an organ part & I helped them close their show…! Best. Night. Ever.

Music Education isn’t an expense, it’s an investment. An investment in our young people, an investment in our communities, an investment in our health and well-being, an investment in our futures, and an investment in who we are and who we want to be. Music is an investment.
