State School Partners with CBSO for Music Academy

The Ted Herbert Music School is hosting auditions for its Community Big Band, open to students aged 13-19, with auditions set for January 19, 2025, in Manchester, NH. Meanwhile, North Street School in Geneva is seeing teachers participate in fourth-grade band rehearsals, promoting lifelong music learning among students and staff. Additionally, the Australian Youth Orchestra emphasizes the significant benefits of music in children's cognitive, social, and language development, aided by educational platforms like Learning for Good. Canadian educational institutions are also adapting their music programs to modern genres like hip-hop and electronic music, reflecting the interests of younger generations. At Shireland CBSO academy in the UK, music is integrated into all aspects of learning, supported by partnerships with professional orchestras, though concerns about declining music education persist as evidenced by reduced GCSE and A-level music entries. This diverse approach to music education highlights its importance in fostering community and personal growth among students and educators alike.
