It's the last day of the summer holidays and I'm in a long queue of people outside Chetham's School of Music. There's a feeling of excitement, and as I speak to the teacher in front of me, I'm struck by how friendly they are. As I walk through the door and head for the registration desk, it is packed with people. ‘How many people are here?’ I ask. ‘About 300,’ replies the smiley Music Mark staff member on the desk. For a regional conference about music education, it is an impressive turnout.

This is a regional Music Mark conference primarily for music hub/service teachers and leaders in the north-west. It's been several years in the planning, due to Covid, but the Music Mark team are certainly displaying dedication to their cause and commitment to their ‘Talk into Action’ equity, diversity and inclusion movement.
