Why Freenotes make ideal outdoor play equipment

Teaching music is about so much more than learning to play an instrument. Recent research carried out by Freenotes confirms the general belief that there is a direct link between better music teaching and a step-change in how our children could and should be developing. Robin Ashfield of Freenotes explains how outdoor musical instruments can provide a way of interacting through spontaneous creative expression.

Freenotes will be making their own sweet music at Glastonbury this year.
