Check out Zack Moir’s presentation here if you’re interested in hearing his take on how and why popular music educators have a a responsibility to recognise that they are not politically neutral and why we’re at risk of actively creating a graduate precariat…
A few weeks ago I gave a presentation at the APME conference, entitled 'We are Not Neutral: Popular music education, creativity and the active creation of a graduate precariat'. If you're interested, you can see it here: youtu.be/B1nx5EI-vk4 #MusicEducation #popmusiced #APME

@zackmoir reminding me of the quizzical looks I get from my @sydneycon undergrads when I tell them the most important thing I’ll teach them in the whole degree is not composition, production, technology, or even pedagogy, but Critical Thinking. #scmtme – at Sydney, New South Wales

It was roughly a year ago that @GDylanSmith and I were in New York recording this material. It seems that, with each headline I read, the title of the EP is more and more apt! #IgnorantPopulists Fancy a wee bit of ‘rocky/noisy/electronicy’ sax+drums...? open.spotify.com/album/2GfAP… – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Our 1st years finished uni early this year because of Covid. So, they got together and did this. Good on them - looking forward to seeing them back next year. Well done folks, great work.

It was fun being filmed talking about the bit of work that I’ve been doing on @paulfergy ‘s exciting project. We’ve been using LOLA to trial interactive remote recording sessions over vast distances. Also talking about the impact on #musicEd @sandbstudios filmed and were lovely!
