Pedal power, plosives and pitch

A warm welcome to this bumper issue of MT marking the start of a new academic year. I trust you enjoyed the summer recess and are returning to classes with vigour and optimism following various announcements, including on pay, HLOs, policy reviews and fresh faces in government.

MT this month carries not one but two main themes: ‘back to school’ and ‘musicals’. In some ways, these merge if thinking about curtains rising, first-night jitters and remembering our lines.
