Guides, tips, interviews, and resources from the YMM community.
Tips
This week's listen takes you deep into the landscape of Finland — frozen lakes, vast forests, trolls and ancient legends — with Sibelius' mighty Violin Concerto. We recommend Anne-Sophie Mutter's recording with the Staatskapelle Dresden.
Interview
Our Musical Director John K Miles sat down with SoundStorm Music Education Agency for an in-depth 'Meet a Composer' interview — from a piano rescued from a skip to a career spanning jazz, film scoring, and community music.
Resource
We're putting together a library of educational resources to support learning between Saturdays — practice guides, listening lists and more. Watch this space!
