Lessons already available online include a session with Elena Urioste,a violinist and

yogini, who talks about breath and music-making through yoga and meditation. She
discusses wellbeing with Patrick King, head of percussion at the Royal Welsh
Academy of Music & Drama, and principal timpanist at Welsh National Opera. He
leads a live samba session suitable for all ages and abilities.

Benedetti herself is one of the world’s leading advocates for quality music education,
the role of arts and culture in the wider community and the transformational effect it
has on all young people. She has been committed to education projects since the

age of 15 and in the past 12 months, Nicola has worked with over 4,000 students
and 700 teachers.

Nicola Benedetti is a fantastic ambassador for the joy that comes from music-

making, and any household is sure to welcome her infectious enthusiasm.
