Thread Name: Don't teach classical music this way!
Subject: RE: Don't teach classical music this way!
In my primary school they would play all kinds of classical music on a crackly old record player as we went into morning assembly and I loved it. But nothing was said to inform us what it was so I could do would be maybe how to hum it in an infant way without my parents being any the wiser but I am glad that they didn't put words to any of it I must say. This has been a bug bear of mine for ages. The same for me is 'Classic goes Rock' I wish that hadn't been done, Roll over Beethoven is okayish. Sometimes Reggae just about gets away with stealing some, just.

However Bugs Bunny's interpretation of Wagner's operatic stuff with Elmer Phudd was a classic in it's self and to this day I will always sing 'Kill the Wabbit, Kill the Wabbit, Kill the Wabbit!' and the family know exactly what I am talking about.
