Meeting TODAY at 2pm to look at future delivery models for IMS, including chartiable trust or arms-length organisation. Council Officials are recommending it stays in-house. @RalphLRiddiough @CllrMiller @yhconsulting coins.westlothian.gov.uk/coins/agenda.a…
Looking for anyone interested in being involved with a Charitable Trust and name suggestions as well!
The Education Executive meets Tues to make the final decision. We want to set up a Charitable Trust see our fb page: facebook.com/saveourstrings…
We are back on Twitter! Lots of news! The survey to families showed 53% support saving Strings/percussion through means tested charges...
So @LoveWestLothian consulted pupils today. Meetings with a day's notice, in front of headteachers, with a weird briefing paper that instructors were banned from seeing and with ludicrously inflated fees for figures. <sigh>

Drummers, dancers, pipers, percussionists, have you signed up yet to be amongst the thousands of women and girls taking part in @processions2018 #Edinburgh 10 June? We’d ❤️ to hear from you. Let’s make a song and dance together to commemorate #Vote100 processions.co.uk

@saveourstrings @TheAyoubSisters @BBCScotlandNews @RCStweets A simple headline for the story. Blanket free music tuition isn’t the answer but it does feel like it requires a scotland wide strategy
Save Our Strings & Percussion retweeted
@TheAyoubSisters join the call for free music tuition across the whole of Scotland. More on #GMS @BBCScotlandNews @RCStweets @saveourstrings shortly
One of my favourite choons. The West Lothian Folk Group plays it beautiful, yet @LoveWestLothian wants to close the group, stop tuition for strings and take back loaned instruments. We're not even asking for more money, we just want to pay fees to keep it going 😢

We need to invest and preserve, not cut. If reductions in budgets continue at this rate we will have no Instrumental Music Services by 2030! scotsman.com/lifestyle/cult…

I was one of the thousands of kids who benefited from free music lessons at school. What a wonderful lifelong gift it turned out to be. It breaks my heart that so many kids are now missing out through cuts or because their parents can't pay. 1/2 heraldscotland.com/opinion/161767…

"Music is not a subsidiary, luxury, minor industry for the UK. We are the second biggest provider of music to the world... For a modern, developed country to deliberately, wilfully strangle one of its lead exporters is bordering on insane": @Howard_Goodall howardgoodall.co.uk/articles-press…

“It is a little bit of a lottery at the moment. If the rate of the actual instrument teaching keeps on eroding at the current rate, we won’t have many left in a few years.” trib.al/66zONUu

Benefits of playing a musical instrument. Calling all musicians and parents of children who have benefitted from the services of @eastsussexmusic. These vital services are at risk of disappearing next year. #saveeastsussexmusic. @EastSussexCC. Music changes lives.
