Music maestros

How potential in music crosses cultural and geographical boundaries.

Cordelia Williams is a concert pianist and former winner of the piano section of the 大象传媒鈥檚 Young Musician of the Year competition. She鈥檚 very much schooled in the traditional routes to musical success, being taught from an early age, practising and performing and practising again and again. A trip to Kenya gave her a different perspective when she met Teddy Otieno, a pianist whose musical education came largely from watching videos.

Kate Mason talks to them both about their musical journeys and how Cordelia was able to see Teddy's potential and help him exploit it.

We also hear from Adam Whittaker from Birmingham Conservatoire on broadening access to music education.
