this day how many young musicians there are who, if placed in a similar
position to me, would believe what he’d said was true and simply quit.”
2. “In 1999, I went on to set up Plymouth Music Zone (PMZ) to provide music
making opportunities for young people in the area, particularly those who’d
not previously had the opportunity. In setting up this new charity, there was
great commitment from all involved to make it happen. Unfortunately though, I
did observe some negative attitudes similar to those of my percussion teacher
and realised that my musical experience from childhood was, in fact, more
common than I had first thought.
”These negative attitudes were largely to do
with low aspirations and opinions of the people in authority regarding the
children they were responsible for in school. A common reaction was that they
felt the kids wouldn’t turn up – ‘“they’re deprived, you know,” was what I was
told.
3. “It can be easy for us to make assumptions about what young people are
capable of. Sometimes it can be easy to dismiss young people outright and
write off their abilities. Equally we can underestimate what they can achieve
despite their circumstances. Either way, when we have low expectations we
fail to stretch young people musically to enable them to achieve great things.
Confident, collaborative and enabling leadership is needed from everyone
working in music education. If we get this right, ‘access’ and ‘excellence’ are
part of the same equation, ‘informal’ and ‘formal’ learning become part of the
same thing and any sense of ‘musical hierarchy’ is removed.
“The roadblocks that stand in the way of young people’s progression come
in all shapes and sizes. The question is, are we music leaders currently one of
them?”

dancing – ever so subtly so that others won’t call them crazy – on the streets and in the
underground.
I’m one of those people who insisted on using a discman till my Mum offered to buy
me an iPod. That was not very long ago. I also thank God for YouTube: it’s like a mine full of
musical gold nuggets: cover versions from all over the world, some of them quite
accomplished, whole musical DVDs and concerts… oh my! I’ve discovered new things just by
browsing on YouTube, and since Borders, my favourite book and CD megastore closed, this
has become my only way of discovering new musical riches. But hey, I’m not complaining!
