The December Scottish Educational Journal features an interview with violinist Nicola Benedetti about her work supporting music in schools.
Find it on page 14 of this electronic journal, HERE.
Also visit the BBC Two Ten Pieces Project:-
"Ten Pieces aims to inspire a generation of children to get creative with classical music."
NB There's a free copy of the Ten Pieces film, which is available to primary schools while stocks last. Primary school music teachers can email tenpieces@bbc.co.uk with "DVD" in the subject line.
The other day, we blogged about Scuilwab's grown-up cousin, the Dictionary of Scots Language. But if you haven't encountered Scuilwab, then you've only seen one side of the picture. Scuilwab is another website about the Scots language, this time with an educational slant. It's intended for anyone from nursery school teachers to university level folk wanting to improve their Scots language skills.
If you're a folk singer (see if you can find the ballads!), a trainee teacher, or just curious, why not take a look?
And if someone tells you to "Awa an' bile yer heid!"?
There's a Mars bar for the first Royal
Conservatoire of Scotland registered reader to find a translation on Scuilwab or
the Dictionary of Scots Language. (Post the link as a comment here.) If you can't find it, try the Urban Dictionary, but there's no Mars bar for that!
