TESTIMONIALS

I must say thank you very much indeed for the strong, practical support you are giving to us members throughout this pandemic. Your research and the authoritative statements are invaluable. Brilliant work!

John Bryden FISM, ISM member since 1971

I have been most impressed by the detailed information ISM has provided throughout the pandemic. It’s been truly wonderful and so impressively managed. So a big ‘thank you’. Fiona Gates MISM, ISM member since 2017 Congratulations, and thanks for a very engaging and informative presentation on the work of ISM [in the lunchtime session of Building for the future]. I’m already a member (and thanks for all that you do …) but learned a lot more about ISM membership by chance so win win! Alison Davies MISM, ISM member since 2018

I thank the ISM for providing this treatment physio pilot scheme. I’ve had a telephone consultation and am going to my first face-to-face appointment tomorrow, and really appreciate this opportunity as I wouldn’t be able to afford treatment otherwise. The physio I spoke to was so helpful and gave me some much needed hope! ISM member As always, the ISM surpasses itself in providing prompt, professional advice, even providing a bespoke template for a letter that I didn’t ask for, and which is much better than mine.

ISM member since 1998

Thanks for the invite [to the ISM Music Education Teach Meets in May]. I really love sessions like that, I came away with loads of things to think about in terms of moving forward in our school. I hope there will be more soon!

Dan Jones, Creative Arts Lead, Allens Croft Primary School
