Barry you are right! It makes me really cross when I ask a non singer (and often a non folkie) to sing and they say "I can't" then when you talk to them you find that they THINK they can't because they were told so at school. Ok, to be in the choir perhaps you need to be able to keep on key, but ordinary singing in class should be inclusive and done for the children to enjoy. It shouldn't be something that puts them off singing for life. Especially since, like every other excercise, the more you do it the better you get (up to a limit of course!)
