The Andrew Marr Show
Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti says her lockdown project of offering three weeks of free music classes online via a team of musicians has been "challenging" but has "surpassed every imagination I had in terms of the substance and possibilities of the online medium".
The Ayrshire-born musician told the Andrew Marr Show that the workshops are "taking up every minute of our energy" in the lead-up to a huge online concert next Sunday, but she had found the experience "uplifting".
"All the children who feel able will send in videos of what they have learnt over the last few weeks and we will be piecing together the result of all those hours of study, tutorials, YouTube videos and Zoom collectives," she said.
"I am so excited to see what they have absorbed from the materials we have given them."
