It’s off to work I go #nofilter #morningcommute #toocoldtoqueue

Dinner with our Chinese #MusicEducation friends in Northern China. We are here for a week of community workshops and discussion for #musicalfuturesinternational

Good morning from Changchun. It’s a little cold out there!

In 2018 work took me to Singapore, Bejing, Shanghai, Changchun, Harbin, Bangalore, Brisbane, Melbourne, Auckland, Hong Kong, Baku and Kuala Lumpur. I’ve met some amazing people and learned a huge amount about all kinds of things. Thanks for the adventures 2018 and bring on some new ones in 2019! 😁 🌍 ✈️ ☀️

Muddy #winter walks ❤️

Lecturing at The Education University Hong Kong this week. Practical music making in a lecture hall was great fun and it’s the first time I have ever called for a ‘chopsticks solo’!

Our workshop group from Changchun. Day 2 of workshops today is about creativity and critical thinking and the importance that may hold for instrumental teaching and learning in China #earlyadopters #musicalfutureschina

Awesome morning so far!

I so enjoyed today working with students, parents and teachers in Changchun. It challenges me in so many ways as a teachers and there’s always so much to think about and reflect on!

just setting up for our presentation this afternoon at Music China. We are asking whose music education is it anyway?

Stunning autumn colours today

I’ve been helping the team behind the app Mussila Music School to link their work with school music and I’m looking forward to trying out some ideas with children, parents and teachers next week in Shanghai, Changchun and Harbin, China. If you have younger children, give Mussila a try, it’s a lovely way to engage them with music.

I’ve been writing about music education and reflecting on my own-especially how playing music with others was by far my favourite bit of it #musicissocial #musiceducation https://annagower.com/2018/09/15/music-education-pedagogy-and-music/

This handsome fella is distracting me from work this afternoon ❤️

Lovely to transfer the weekend tasks of writing work, shopping lists and meal plans to the garden today! #workingmum #freelancelife #indiansummer

Proud to have finally finished a 4 month project working on the content for the #musicalfuturesinternational website as part of my consultancy brief. Now it’s time to start revamping all over again! www.musicalfuturesinternational.org

A week of workshops with instrumental teachers exploring creative approaches to instrumental learning. Lots of miles covered but met some fab people. Great to be part of the #backtoschool #teachertraining programs in the Uk this week 🎹🎶😎🚂🚶‍♂️🎶😴

The open ceremony of #isme2018 was full of traditional music and dancing, a real treat! #baku #musiceducation

Amazing performances, colours and timbres at the #makemusicday celebration performance and awards ceremony in Bejing July 2018 #nationalmusiceducationconference
