Way off topic but in response to a previous post:
Re getting out the fiddle....state schools.... all learning the same etc etc.
My 7 year old has just started (at his request) playing the violin at school. He has been playing the piano for 1 year already (taught at school too).
*HE* has also passed his first grading in ballet (he's been doing it at school for a couple of years) and has had no hint of a problem from the other boys at school. (a few of them do tap).
He also plays rugby/football/cricket/gym etc at least twice a week in school, on a proper playing field or gym.
95% of the year 2 kids gave up their break time at least once a week through the year to form a choir.
The national curriculum has ensured that all kids are taught the same things...
The reason I send my kids to private school is to ensure they learn more than that is required to put a tick in a government tick box.
No doubt there are state schools out there that go beyond the minimums; the ones where I live don't.
