It's great to see so many positive posts about the importance of music. Those of us who can invite MPs / the media in to see the fantastic work going on in schools should really go for it. Music is still in the curriculum until at least 2013, whatever gets decided now, so let's make lots of noise about the amazing work that is going on out there. The more coverage of great music work going on in schools, the better. I think we can change minds on this one.
