Over the period of one school year, the BBC’s 'Ten Pieces' initiative aims to introduce the wonders and joys of classical music to primary school children across the country. Featuring ten essential classical works, the engaging programme brings music to life through videos, activities and special performances.
We have been joining in the fun with our special series introducing each of the ‘Ten Pieces’ in turn. Part 7, featured in the May issue of the magazine, explores modern composer John Adams’s exciting work Short ride in a fast machine.
