"From turntablism projects alone, we estimate over 5,000kg of CO2 emissions have been saved. The model has allowed us to reach more pupils and classes—especially in rural areas—while upskilling teachers and embedding long-term capability in schools. Its success led to increased demand, prompting expansion of our music tech team, while also freeing senior staff to focus on strategic development." Leicestershire Music. The Music Mark logo is top right.

Explore how music education organisations can reduce travel emissions with examples from @leicsmakemusic.bsky.social & Waltham Forest Music Service 🚗

The turntablism project is a scalable, sustainable model that other music services can learn from! 🎧

We noted that a focus on the creative industries and their value to the UK’s economy is dependent on a pipeline which doesn’t fracture because of a lack of funding and access." Bridget Whyte, Music Mark CEO.

Bridget shares what was discussed at the recent Labour Party Conference 💼

This included conversations about the Curriculum and Assessment Review, the National Centre, inspiring stories across the sector, and challenges in equitable provision 📣
