COVID 19
Following the announcement by the government on Wednesday 18th March that all schools would close during the COVID 19 pandemic. I was contacted by Jimmy Rotheram (@MusicEdu4all ) if I would add an additional section to this website.
This is a fantastic suggestion and with the support of many other music teachers we will aim to provide you with a one stop shop of activities.
