“The PTI events are imaginatively conceived, superbly organised, and probably unique in this country. To invite committed teachers to come together and debate with leading experts and practitioners in their subjects - and in such intimate and conducive settings! it's a brilliantly simple way to inject fresh ideas, new ambitions and sheer inspiration into classrooms. I always feel excited when asked to participate.”

"What we are doing with young people in schools, by teaching them music, is beginning their life-long exploration of music, not creating the finished article. I had been sufficiently enthused at school by the strange alchemy of music to want to learn more. Teachers have a difficult and challenging job and I have enormous admiration for what teachers do. The Prince's Teaching Institute plays an incredibly important role in helping teachers start the engines, so that young people will go on wanting to learn more and in time discover their own musical humility."
