Thread Name: Arts Council Funding for EFDSS
Subject: RE: Arts Council Funding for EFDSS
well an obvious suggestion,would be to extend the tuition and school projects using cecil sharp house as a base.
your post rather implies I do not know what I am talking about.
my information is correct about the lack of comprehensive regional tuition by the EFDSS compared to Comhaltas,My opinions are well informed.
I was not suggesting that Comhaltas should be slavishly copied,I was suggesting that they should be studied [for their strengths and weakness]and some things that they do could be adopted, particularly childrens tuition[this does not have to be competition orientated].
I understand that these things have to be done gradually,but an extension or adaption of the schools projects would be money well spent.
using CECIL SHARP HOUSE as a base is a good business idea,think of the building as a shopkeeper might his shop,the ultimate aim being to get people [particularly young children] visiting the house regularly.
to   quote the old jesuit phrase,get a child before he is eight and he is yours for life.
