Ida Carroll
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1958

The unofficial personal reactions of Ida Gertrude Carroll (1905-1995, student, secretary and then principal of the Northern School of Music) on the proposed options for creating a new school of music (later to be the RNCM). Worries of the roots of any new school being totally dismissed make it clear that the legacy and work of the Northern School of Music is vital to Ida. She feels that the ideas presented by the local authority are dangerous and fears that the conversations are more like "buying and selling a shop" and not working with one of only few institutions in the country with their capabilities and purpose.
