Never fails to make me smile. The choir is composed of fifth graders.

Noel: You smile and I cry. Thanks for this joyful experience which illustrates more than words can express the power of music.

This is a winning combination of platinum instruction meeting stirling silver potential. It should come as no surprise that the result is a golden moment. QED

How about that music teacher? Instruction that I could only have dreamed of in my youth.

Cool! There is just something about the voices of children playing and singing that stikes a chord inside me.... They are well rehersed!

Thanks Tom. The teacher (Mr.B) get a new batch of fifth graders each year. He seems a genuine, dynamic, and open-minded guy. How I wish I could have had some instruction like that! I'm not saying the nuns didn't achieve something with their yard sticks...

Peter, I would be lying if I said this didn't cause me to tear up too. There is something about it which disarms me entirely. Purity maybe.

Add a zero at the end and that would be the "name" of the school I attended.

Wow! Very moving. I could only dream of having such fantastic musical instruction in my youth.

That was brilliant, and it is clear they are enjoying themselves.

They are fortunate to have such a dedicated teacher.

Brian, at secondary school in my first year (age 12), we were drafted into the choir and taught how to sing. Music was a part of the curriculum, and we were taught the basics by a very talented lady. I am now more than annoyed that, like many others, I treated it as a bit of a joke, and didn't take it seriously. Maybe if they had selected contemporary music as study pieces it may have been different.

I don't know what to say....that was simply beautiful...inspirational. I have a lot of admiration for such teachers. They are too valuable for words.
