Snaresbrook Prep Uncovered

#008 - In this episode we find out how music plays such an important role at the school, not just for the creative side of education but the academic too. Joe takes us on a journey of how the children can become inspired to perform (even if that means addressing a smidge of failure as an opportunity to learn from time to time).

As always, this is a three-way conversation with the host, Simon, and Ralph Dalton, Headteacher at the school.

We get a sneaky peek into what music Joe's been listening to recently on his phone and we manage to persuade Ralph to share his recent playlists with us too :)

Step inside and listen in on this conversation.
