Episode 10 - Panel - Greg Lawson, Dave Mastrocola, Ronan MacManus

  • Summary

  • The final episode in this series of podcasts reflects on previous episodes and the need for change within the industry. I'm joined by Greg Lawson (Violinist, Conductor and Teacher), Dave Mastrocola (Head of Visual & Performing Arts at The Bourne Academy) and Ronan MacManus (Singer/Songwriter).


    We reflect on a whole host of points raised throughout the series. We talked about the current lack of visibility for new artists due to streaming platform saturation. We discuss the need for patience and understanding as a performer because so many musicians are now left feeling cynical, jaded and exhausted after years in the profession.


    We also discussed the need for a reform in music education and a change in attitudes towards teaching the subject, and how so many positives changes could be made if some of the "lesser known" examining bodies were recognised for their content, not only at a high school level but into further education.
