As a 40 somthing brit. My memories of school music are very fond ones. Although my school was a poor inner city one where the only band instruments were triangles, tone blocks, recorders(we had to buy our own), and a drum. The music came from the BBC in little booklets called singing together. True the range was limited, ken John Peel, the Kokaborra (aussi bird), Camp town races etc. The teacher made the difference with the energy he put into it and Im sure that it was his hard work that turned me on to music.

Thank you Mr. Mathiews
