Chris Robson is Senior Lecturer in music at the Institute of Education at MMU, and Year Leader for final year undergraduates on the BA (Hons) Primary Education. She was previously a primary teacher in Liverpool and quickly took on the role of coordinator for expressive arts, involving children in choirs, festivals and concerts. The desire to encourage trainee teachers to get over the music ′fear factor′ took her into Initial Teacher Education and her current roles. She has contributed to a number of Music Education Conferences and has acted as an educational consultant for the BBC for their Primary Schools Music Radio Broadcasts. A study of a project examining the role of HE in the Arts will form the culmination of her MA in Education.
