Our music dept isn't that bad, in fact the worst problem is the guitars are always hideously out of tune - not doubt from year 7s trying to show off...fools. . That's another thing! Any money that the music department gets is mostly spent on guitars and stuff!

Most of the poeple at college play guitars....
Today, as the teacher was not there and there was a supply, some boys got an amp, stuck outside the music department door ans turned it on to full blast (whilst someone was playing)..... That broke and amp...

At our school we have a good music department with a very good band. I made the of not taking music for GCSE as at the time I had quit playing because I had no inspiration to carry on. Never mind. In primary school we had a workshop one evening were a music teacher came in to show us instruments. Only four of us took up an instrument, we were al, only about 6/7 at the time. We never had lessns on music lessons in our classes, just the private lessons on our instruments when the hired teacher came in.

Y7 we had 3 hours a fortnight Y8 we had 2 hours a fortnight Y9 we have 2 hours a fortnight. All the way through we've had 4 hours a fortnight of PE. Our music department's pretty dire - We had a great teacher who came in new in Y7, went on maternity leave for Y8 when we had an awful teacher who apparently taught Craig David, but when I told her I'd passed by G5 theory with merit she told me that you couldn't pass with merit, you could only pass. So I gave up Chior and did nothing in her lessons for the rest of the year. She begged me to come back to chior but there was no way I was. Anyway, now we have the really good teacher back, who is really good. And actually at the moment we're doing a topic on Songwriting, with the aim of writing our own songs, which has nearly everyone interested.

we never did any in primary school except for singing. which was stupid because it involved the teacher, who thought he was pavarotti showing off and talking to the choir. (which i wasn't in because he picked his favourites, not that i'm bitter hehe). Then he moved to Brighton or somewhere i think and he was replaced by a good music teacher, but that was the year i left.

we never had music lessons, although in year 5 we had the piano playing teacher (mrs jobson i think was her name) so we had some mess around recorder-and-various-percussion session every now and again. and she tried to convince me to learn flute... hmm.

My mum now teaches whole class recorders in my primary school, which I think is quite good. hehe she has some backing tracks where they actually only play about 2 notes every 8 bars, but it sounds good and they enjoy it.
