Emma Featherstone: big school bands
Inspirational!
What an awesome woman. When I listen to people like this talk I remember there are some amazing people in NZ (after getting all down from reading about all the crime, nonsense and general stupidity on nzherald.com).
She so deserves that award. I can’t even remember what that award was called, but she deserves whatever award people want to give her. If I had kids I’d want to send them to Kings after listening to this. Although I still don’t like the idea of single sex schools as well as gathering all the rich people together. Come to think of it, if I ever have kids I probably could never afford to send them to Kings anyway.
I was nodding along to what she was saying about how in NZ people have low standards of what kids should be taught (musically). I thought this was normal until going overseas and seeing what school kids are taught. I felt a bit embarrassed about the music that gets taught in NZ.
Yay for Emma Featherstone – wouldn’t it be great if all teachers were as passionate and intelligent as her.
