I began offering Rockschool (RSL Awards) exams for my international school students when I couldn't find options for them via more traditional examination routes. Using RSL Awards resources were a brilliant way of incorporating a contemporary approach into a school culture where music exams were placed on a pedestal.
In this episode, I speak with Rockie Siew about his experience working with international schools in Malaysia and Brunei. We speak about his background as a musician/teacher and how he began working to encourage international school music teachers to adopt RSL Awards resources. The conversation then turns to a deep dive into what RSL Awards can offer international school music teachers with Alistair Platt who is the current Director of Business Development at RSL Awards. This part of the discussion includes exploring new innovations to music examinations that can impact the entire creative and performing arts departments in international schools!
Rockie and Alistair are keen advocates for pop and rock music education and are excited about where international school music departments are heading with their music provision!
