Here is Part 2 of Drake Music Scotland's new series of How To videos, guiding you through the process of teaching students how to play a musical instrument. Watch musician and composer Niroshini Thambar demonstrate how to set up Figuresnotes for the keyboard and start learning piano skills. Niroshini is known for composing the soundtracks for award-nominated theatre show The Secret Life of Suitcases (Unicorn Theatre), The Bridge for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme, and From Here to There commissioned for The Edinburgh Mela. This year she was selected as one of the Starter 2018 artists at National Theatre of Scotland. This series is a new commission from The Space Arts Creative Scotland BBC Arts and aims to be a go-to guide for teachers, musicians and those working with young people. Everyone should have access to a music education that works for them. Using colour and shape, Figurenotes is an alternative way of learning that increases accessibility and boosts participation in music making. Part 3 in the series will be released next Tuesday on our Facebook and YouTube where we will be looking at singing with Early Years.
