It was so exciting to meet the #sheriff of #southampton@ChesterCath today (happy birthday!), and pretty relieved that she didn’t have her child-beating stick with her…
@PatrickAllies Exactly what I thought about the range! All current “music” for children is too low for their voices. From nursery rhymes at baby groups to “worship songs” in assemblies, I rant about it all the time and nobody cares!
@SueAllan2 @RevRichardColes I’ve been teaching my children Latin using Oak Online Academy (starting with Year 7 Latin which takes you from the very beginning). The only thing that confuses me is that my Latin is entirely self-taught through singing and is pronounced totally differently!
@StevenIsserlis@BBCRadio3 I’ve always tried so hard to like Strauss. I can appreciate there is beauty and skill in his music but I can’t listen to it easily. Having a horn-player husband means there can be disagreement in Mozart v Strauss, so it’s good to read these comments!
