10 Music for Education & Wellbeing podcasts – useful listening for the holidays

If you plan to find some time for listening and catching up during the holidays – or just doing things that leave your ears free! – I hope these podcasts will keep you in good company. Since the Music for Education & Wellbeing podcast launched in March 2019, I’ve spoken to some fantastic people making change through music. Thank you to everyone who’s taken part and listened, and here’s a roundup of the series so far.
