BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Engineers, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Music, Dementia

Phoebe Waller-Bridge's success, the power of music to change lives, pioneering women who excelled in engineering, and how do you inspire your child to take up a musical instrument?Phoebe Waller-Bridge, scriptwriter and lead actor for the series ‘Fleabag’ has won three separate awards at this year’s Emmys. She won the best lead actress in a comedy series, and best writing. The show also won for best comedy.

Tomorrow is BBC Music Day, an annual celebration across the corporation about the power of music to change lives. On Woman’s Hour we’re hearing from people who live with dementia and about how music helps them cope. Shelagh is 79, from Madeley in Staffordshire where she lives with her husband Paul, who also has dementia. Woman’s Hour first met Shelagh at a Dementia Diaries event in Birmingham. The group record their experiences about living with dementia and post on dementia diaries.org.

One hundred years ago, the Women’s Engineering Society was formed. In a new book ‘Magnificent Women and their Revolutionary Machines’, Henrietta Heald charts the history of the society and the pioneering women who excelled in engineering – often against the odds. Henrietta joins Jenni to discuss. How do you inspire your child to take up a musical instrument or learn to sing? What are the best instruments to learn and how do you help keep their interest should practising become a chore? Jenni speaks to Molly Newton, a music teacher based in York.

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK Invite professional musicians in to primary schools to play and talk about their instruments. That’s what inspired my musician son.

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK Get in touch with your local music hub/ music service and see what choirs and ensembles your child can join (always more fun together)! And be enthusiastic: sit with them when they practice, praise them, encourage, and NEVER pull a face if it sounds bad - it'll improve!

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK A fabulous relationship between staff KingsWorcester and WorcCathedral, working together. Inspiring music.

BBCRadio4 EmmaBullimore HettaHowes I’ve no idea!

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK Have music in the house.

EmmaBullimore HettaHowes It’s honest. I know I see some of my own life in it. (Although there are no priests in my mishaps!)

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK BMJ - 'new allegations that the researchers might have broken rules when seeking ethical approval. They might also have misinterpreted another study’s findings about potentially worrying effects of the drugs on changing bone density.'

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK Re your 'drama': Are you going to mention detransitioners? Or stop your propaganda long enough to point out that these kids will end up sterile and with no sexual function? And that 'top surgery' means radical mastectomy? Or point out the 4000% rise in girls transitioning?

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK My girl was introduced to music by philharmonia MusicLab in 2014 at the age of 6. She badgered me for lessons. A violin from freecycle lead to violin lessons. Today she plays violin, flute and a little piano. Her desire to play stems back to the one fateful day.

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK Be lucky enough to live in Birmingham, where schools and the excellent S4EMusic service and TheCBSO get thousands of children playing every year.

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK About your point on practice - I would not have had the confidence or skill to pursue music as a career, if my parents hadn't made me timetable in practice. They aren't pro musicians and they encouraged me when I was reluctant. It made ALL the difference.

MollyNewton77 YolanDaBrownUK Remember local brass bands offer free tuition and instruments and a warm welcome to young musicians.

Innov_Dementia Your guest wondered how a working class gran knew about opera. Maybe the same as mine, who would queue for tickets outside the theatre in Brum, to be joined by grandpapa when he’d finished work; they were fortified by the sandwiches & thermos of tea prepared for the purpose. 1/2

I'm very much enjoying your interview with Shelagh, what a lovely lady. One small thing too point out, the very stirring 'Ireland's Call' featured as a Republican song, was only written in 1995. It represents the entire island of Ireland as an alternative to the national anthem.

BBCfileon4 JordanDunbar10 BBCRadio4 I'm sure there is definitely truth in this. These so called 'counsellors' need proper regulation, and should have to meet certain criteria before being allowed anywhere near vulnerable people...and I speak from experience! BBCfileon4 JordanDunbar10 BBCRadio4 It's not all its cut out to be. My last counsellor told me his colleague drowned himself, his ex wife is an alcoholic, and various snippets about his other clients. I think I was meant to counsel him.
