This will be my last update for you for 6 months. From Monday 13 February I am moving to another team within Pearson to work on some other projects and will return to the Subject Advisor role later this year. Please do continue to use teachingmusic@pearson.com to submit your questions as we have the support in place to cover my absence. I wish you and your students all the best for exams in May/June.
