Richard Gill: The Value of Music Education
The wonderful Richard Gill talked earlier this year about music education for young children. He spoke about the right of every child to be taught music properly by teachers who are qualified to do so. He also cautioned against classifying all the arts together in one big lump - they are different. And he used examples to show the way that music coaxes children into the abstract thinking.
Favourite quote: "Music is worth teaching because it empowers children spectacularly".
