And, yes, somebody like Cyrilla could do wonders - what about a Jamie Oliver style overhaul of school music as opposed to school dinners!!!???


What a great idea!

Gosh, am I THAT predictable, Suepea???! (The answer clearly being in the affirmative (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) .)

Yes - this is what a lot of people have been trying to say for years - there have been many studies that show the benefits of a structured music education yet the 'powers that be' are not interested... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Good music education develops the WHOLE child - intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, socially and physcially.

Sort of incidentally, but a cheering story for today - I have started at a new school where there is a quite severely autistic boy in Y1. At the first lesson last week he refused to come in but sat outside the hall with his helper making noises (fear created by the change in his routine). This week he came in, sat with the rest of his class (made very few inappropriate noises!) and joined in with pretty much everything - including volunteering to sing solo twice. He has an amazingly strong, clear and in tune singing voice. I was delighted and his helper was flabbergasted!

I rest my case.

That's fantastic, Cyrilla.

Even when a child doesn't become great musician, the self-discipline that's involved in music is a great thing these days when so much is handed to children on a plate.

Eeep! Thanks for the vote of confidence, Patricia! Not sure I've got what Jamie Oliver has ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ) but I think I DO know what's pukka in music education... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

And I do have these two Big Plans on the boil at the moment which just might help a bit in this regard...

I had violin and piano lessons from 6/7.
I wonder what are the other benifits from this?
