Been meaning to get around to this for ages, but I would like to recommend local musician Dan Maitland (www.eazypeazymusic.com or [email protected]) who recently gave singing and musicianship lessons to my 9 year old daughters. They were auditioning for a London choir and had to prepare a (tricky) song from a list given to them, with another contrasting piece. They also had to be prepared to do various aural tests and general musicianship including sight singing. They were very nervous about the audition but Dan really put them at their ease and made the lessons a lot of fun. Dan was able to relate really well to them and understand how to motivate them, he massively boosted their confidence and gave them great advice on how to deal with tricky parts of the songs.


I would highly recommend Dan as a music teacher - I know that he also teaches a number of instruments and am sure that there are details on his website. When I come to secondary school applications and more flipping tests for music places I will definitely be calling on him again!


Cheers

      I've not engaged in this debate so far but you can't be more wrong. In the UK our own language is English, there is a small minority who can rightly claim their language is Welsh or Gaelic, and a couple Cornish. British Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, atheists etc will usually speak British, even if not their first language.  The vast majority will be able to understand English.   A small percentage, less than two percent, of people living in the UK have little or no English (census data).  It is right that in certain situations eg schools there is signage and information in other languages, providing public information. It is wrong that a political party do this, particularly one who came across as opportunist on this occasion. There is an interesting conversation about British expats living, for example, on the continent, where I expect huge swathes who can hardly say a word of French, Spanish etc.

      Surely the biggest scandal under Blair's tenure was developments funded under the Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs) where funding came from the private sector at high rates of interest. Around £44 Bn was borrowed for projects which involved costly maintenance contracts for years into the future.
