Ali has been with Music for Schools since 2000 and has lots of experience in all aspects of Music for Schools life. She started playing the flute in group lessons at primary school and is therefore hugely enthusiastic about the Music for Schools scheme. Achieving Grade 8 at age 15, Ali has also taught privately as well as heading up the office. She has accumulated a bizarre knowledge of postcodes and area phone codes which she is strangely proud of. In her spare time Ali's musical outlet is mainly now singing in an acoustic duo with her husband, and she also likes to delve into family history.

Tony (aka "The Music Man") began his musical journey at Primary school. He began learning a brass instrument and went on to play in Championship level bands, playing several times at the Royal Albert Hall. Since then he has played in many countries and over forty years later is still playing in Brass, Wind and Big Bands. Tony has a passion for showing primary school children how they can begin their musical journey so they have the same opportunities he enjoyed. Outside work he enjoys the outdoor life, travelling around in his campervan called Flo.
