This week we say farewell to our senior lecturer and programme coordinator in music education, Pauline Black. Pauline has been at the university for 12 years and has been a champion for music education in the city, shire and further afield. We wish her well for her new venture.

A fantastic session as some of our students work with amazing players (Quartet: Aaron McGregor, Aden Mazur, Ewa Bartmann, Ali MacDonald; Piano: Lliam Paterson) and our super technician Xavier Lo on their film music projects!

Presenting our working paper on the Taipei Music Centre and our mapping project, funded by the National Foundation of Arts and Culture in Taiwan at University of Aberdeen Music was a pleasure. I'm thankful for the valuable comments, and suggestions from the participants involved. JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni
