Welcome to a bumper March issue of MT, and the point in the year when we focus on rock, pop and jazz. For ‘how-to’ guides, Rick Kershaw writes on developing rock and pop groups for KS3, and Music Teachers Choir leaders Leanne Sedin and Adam Saunders explain how working by ear can be liberating for singers and conductors alike, particularly when working in grooves. Adam Osmianski, meanwhile, provides top tips for practising the drum-kit, and Nikki Iles – fresh from her recent big band successes – reflects on jazz composition and education. All new contributors.
Our focus continues with an Open Day visit to a ‘disruptive’ HE provider, WaterBear, which seeks to prepare students for the music industry, and a review of guitars, footswitches and pedals by the imitable Al Summers (who knows a thing or two about noise gates and pickups).
