Sam asks us to consider whether our bias on musical teaching gets in the way of young people learning. Sam’s understanding of authenticity was challenged and changed during an experience with a group of young people who wanted to create drill music. Now, for Sam, authenticity is about allowing a young person to express their views through music, whatever they may be, and then allowing that opportunity to create a pathway for progression, change and development.
