Awards nominations close on 12 September.

Colleagues in Scotland may be feeling hard done by, receiving their Back-to-School issue of MT weeks after re-entering the classroom or re-starting instrumental lessons. Fear not, as this joint Musicals and Back-to-School themed issue is a bumper 100-page magazine, so there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into regardless of when you're picking this up.

If you're embarking on your first year as an ECT this September (or know someone who is), p.45 will offer some words of wisdom from a teacher who was in your position only last year. Having been scarred by an unsuccessful NYO audition in her youth, Claire Jackson faces her demons to find out how the National Youth Orchestra is adapting to best serve today's teenagers; you'll read how AI is being used to facilitate a more flexible kind of music exam; and Bob Chilcott discusses his new musical drama, Birdland, which was premiered as a collaboration between a secondary school, a music hub, and a group of local primary schools.
