More than ever before, music is subjected to the relentless marketing of a 'product' and a 'personality' whose image will sell the product. Making Music in Britain provides the means of seeing behind the packaging and images in order to discover what it really means to be a musician. Through interviews with a selection of professional musicians, the variety of musical experience, musical thought and creativity is revealed. Discussions include the experience of music within education; concern about the quality and content of music education within schools; musical creativity; performance issues; and the process of composition and the evaluation of each individual's response to music. The interviews cover a broad spectrum of musicians working in Britain. These include classical performers, an animateur, jazz and folk musicians, composers and those involved with education, musical criticism, writing and broadcasting.
