The general aspiration to provide inclusive music runs up against many barriers and often fails to deliver a truly inclusive experience for individual students, particularly in the context of WCET instrumental lessons. Panelists will speak from the perspectives of:

- an instrumental teacher delivering lessons, but also as an advocate for a limb different child who, despite all our best efforts, avoidably missed out on a suitable instrument for her WCET year because of happenstance.
-the manager of the OHMI Music-Makers programme who came into the role from being a peripatetic teacher and now overseas OHMI's Whole Class programme, which is currently being delivered in six music services.
- an instrumental teacher working on the ground in the OHMI Music-Makers Whole Class programme.
- a researcher who has evaluated all the OHMI Music-Maker programmes over the last decade.
