Dartington Plus is delighted to announce that Lisa Tregale has been appointed as Director for the new South West Music School scheme.

As many of you know, Lisa previously worked at Dartington as Manager of Dartington International Summer School. Since March 2004, Lisa has been Director of Beaford Arts in North Devon.

South West Music School forms part of a national network of centres for advanced training for exceptionally talented young musicians between the ages of 8-18. The scheme is core funded by the Music & Dance Scheme at DfES. South West Music School aims to support 15 young musicians in its first year, rising to 45 by 2010.
