In Episode 130, Patrick chats to Mark Aitchison about his PhD, which focuses on Key Stage 3 music, and Mark asks for teachers’ assistance with a Year 8 Research Project. 

Plus, music education academics Anthony Anderson, Carolyn Cooke, Victoria Kinsella and Elizabeth MacGregor introduce the new edition of the seminal book, ‘Learning to Teach Music in the Secondary School’, discussing the huge amount of change in music education since the previous edition in 2016, challenges for trainee teachers in 2026, and how the musical landscape could change in forthcoming years.

Presented and produced by Patrick Johns.
