Plato said “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning". Twohig concurs and goes further to say “There is an increasing belief that a creative mind is equally necessary in careers as diverse as banking, law, medicine, politics and divinity.” Head of Art at Wellington College, Edward Twohig will draw together the pathways that connect Music, Art and Creativity in a cohesive and practical format.
We warmly welcome you to join us at the 2015 MMA Annual Conference, which will take place at Wellington College from Friday 15 May to Sunday 17 May.
