Jean Baptiste is an amazing guitarist and has really enjoyed teaching at most of our partner schools in the last two years. He has two regular jobs in our partner schools and an active career as a performer, but has flourished as a curriculum music teacher. He can also teach in French, being a fluent french speaker.

Kai Kwasi Thorne has been teaching and working with us for 18 months and has gone from strength to strength as a practitioner. Children naturally follow his lead and warm to him and he has a really great relatioship with every child he teaches. He is also an accomplisehd performgin musician and has recently been working with Joy Crookes on her new album. A highlight for the team was his performance at Glastonbury with her this year - we were so proud!

He says ‘Music is such an important part of every child’s experience - but unfortunately it is often underfunded and overlooked in primary schools. I was very lucky to spend a lot of time around musicians and listening to music growing up. since i’ve starting teaching I've realised this isn't the norm so it's really rewarding seeing the impact that my lessons have on the children i work with’
