well folks,it was a school production here in Cardiff. Nothing flash, more a concert of the songs from 'Joseph'with music from a synth and wholehearted singing from the whole school. They have the benefit of an enlightened headmaster, with good staff, who ensure that every child, even the littlest ones, gets to play a part. And don't they love it! Animaterra, you are correct- this gets children singing uninhibitedly and their smiles afterwards show how they enjoy it. Naturally, the audience enjoys it too. Delights in it is probably a better description. Cardiff is not generally known as a Welsh speaking area but there are a few Welsh-only schools here, including those attended by all our four grandchildren. I am as English as cricket but I married a Welsh girl (non-Welsh -speaker)We lived in my home town Nottingham. When our son grew up he came to Cardiff to work in television sound with HTV,S4C,and BBC Wales. He learned the language, married a Cardiff(welsh-speaking) girl, then eventually raised their children to be bi-lingual, Welsh/English, which we are very pleased about because they get the best of two cultures. We came home from the show wearing soppy grins and feeling good head to foot. I was still in that state when I sent the posting. In fact I'm wearing it again! The actions of the Headmaster in encouraging singing for it's own sake reminds me of my own schooldays when the Head introduced English folksongs and started school Morris and Sword dance sides. A great man, one I remember with huge love and respect. Those of you who are teachers, be proud of being in such a profession. I think thats answered all the questions. Apologies for using Mudcat for some family boasting, but it was music that triggered it off, and the high, clear voices of those smiling children.
