Name: Gary Vessey on Oct 11, 2012Comments: Appalling. An absolute disgrace. If someone has qualified to teach and has gained QTS, who has the right to treat them as a second rate teacher, totally devaluing them?? No-one. Leave these wonderful people and their salaries alone!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 11, 2012Comments: The qualified music staff show a commitment and enthusiasm well beyond the call of duty, which encourages and enables both my children to play instruments and learn how to work with others both of which are life long skills. It is essential that the qualified teacher status is maintained with appropriate pay.Flag

Name: Georgina Lawrence on Oct 13, 2012Comments: A qualified teacher is a qualified teacher, no matter what subject they teach. I'd like to see WMDC telling all teachers in schools that they are no longer considered a qualified teacher and trying to downgrade them to instructors - it wouldn't happen would it. These staff are qualified, highly talented, professional individuals who quite often give over and beyond what is expected of them, for free, because they care about the education of the children in the Wakefield district - come on WMDC, can you not see you are killing this fantastic service?Flag

Name: Jonathan Cannon on Oct 13, 2012Comments: This is an absolute insult to the dedicated Music Service team! Having witnessed through my daughter the time and effort that is put into nurturing the young talent of the Wakefield district, it's an insult to say the staff don't deserve qualified teacher status, let alone remove from them. Yet another sign of the times under this uncultured money-grabbing council.Flag

Name: Gregg Wilkinson on Oct 13, 2012Comments: This music service is one of the jewels in the crown of the council' services. I am very concerned that this service, as result of the council lack of imagination and responsibility is going to decline the service to none existence such that music will become an elite participation only once again!Flag

Name: Laurence Marshall on Oct 13, 2012Comments: As a young musician myself I think it is incredibly important to have a high standard of music teachers available at a reasonable price. With out this many potentially great musicians may not per-sue their interested. By down grading music teachers you downgrade the whole of music as an art,entertainment and commodity as without the foundation of a good teacher the level of musicianship across the area will fall.Flag

Name: Martyn Stearn on Oct 13, 2012Comments: I believe the move from qualified teacher status undermines all that has been worked for over many years and will have a detrimental effect on the standards of teaching. I am also concerned that this may lead to similar moves in other curriculum areas - ex army PT instructors teaching in school for example? Thin end of the wedge!!Flag

Name: Karen WIlkinson on Oct 13, 2012Comments: I have watched my eldest flourish under the fantastic teaching of WMS.All the staff he has come into contact with have been professional, experienced and dedicated people who have nurtured and supported him over the past ten years. The thought that now my youngest's time has come, she will be taught by less experienced and less motivated staff is appalling. Talented and experienced teachers will be forced to leave WMS and Wakefield's children will the poorer for it. It will create at best a two tier service with those able to pay, moving their children to private lessons and private orchestras leaving those who cannot afford to pay with 'instructors'. This is not like swimming lessons or football lessons. We don't want instructors we want experienced professional teachers. This is closing the service by the back door! You should be ashamed that this is even an option. This is our children's education you are devaluing.Flag
