Simon Strange is a popular music educator and practitioner. He researches the connections between art education and music skills at Bath Spa University, UK.

'Simon Strange handles all [the] material highly skilfully and it’s a testament to both his writing and his meticulous research that he manages to cover such a far reaching subject with hardly a false step. As both a lecturer at Bath Spa University and also a musician and producer he shows both a passion for intellectual study and left field rock music. It’s a difficult balancing act to pull off but much like the artists contained within these pages, he’s managed it using non linear narratives, rubbing against the form that both educates and inspires. Just like the good old days of breaking glass and guitar ignition.'Full Louder than War review here
