This week on the Parents’ Show we will be talking about the role music should play in your child’s life. Most know it is important but how do we got about integrating it into our lives especially if, as a parent, you haven’t had any experience in playing a musical instrument or singing.

We will be talking to Simon Smith, violinist (soloist and chamber musician) and violin lecturer at Birmingham Conservatoire about how to go about it and about the ‘Talent Myth’. We will be joined for a song by Phelia, two soprano mums based in St Albans and finally we will be speaking to Gill Johnston, Director of Harpenden Musicale.
