When I was at school, ideas of how music was valued were based on western classical traditions and ability to read score sheets. Although I had a strong classical upbringing it would have been very supportive of my interest in music for teachers to have brought in professional artists who may have presented alternative creative possibilities to the school.

Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors have been chosen as inspirational leaders in their creative fields who have an understanding and passion for the need for young people to access creativity in their day to day school lives.
To show their commitment to our programme these Ambassadors will have either visited one of our schools or worked directly with young people and/or teachers from our programme. This has given them first-hand experience of how Creative Partnerships is helping to nurture the creative skills of young people as well as developing professional artists in their practice.
