Description
Summary:	Inspiring stories about school projects that make a difference. Steve Dawson has transformed his school's music department and restored pride in the school through playing drums. Following its damning Ofsted report, Dawson was sent to Newcastle-under-Lyme Community High School. Using his observations of how engaging drum beating could be, he raised enough money for every class member to have their own West African djhemba. It has become obvious that playing the drum boosts pupils self-esteem, and being part of a band teaches them to respect others. Participation in the band has led to less behavioural problems and exclusions. This programme shows how Steve's enthusiasm and drive transformed the music department and had positive effects throughout the school.
