New head?? Who/when/why - first I've heard about this one (or should that be hurd )

Also, so what will the school do if the "Total Return" is turned down??

Quite honestly I find it refreshing to have a member of staff prepared to join in the discussions here. It's a shame not more do. Hear, Hear! Definitely good to have someone who's at the sharp-end at the school, directly contributing to the education of children - most of the rest of us are doing i...

I agree that the school may need to change, but this should only be with complete agreement of the governors and Old Blues, Why should it be with our agreement? Yes the community of Old Blues has an interest, and our input may be welcomed, but I don't think the current and future running of the sch...

I agree that the school may need to change, but this should only be with complete agreement of the governors and Old Blues, and with a clear purpose and open/honest motivations. It is also imperative that all of these extra expenditures be clearly delineated - which are ongoing running costs and whi...

Vibrato should NEVER be used by the amateur, but almost invariably is. But as a cellist, the thought of playing any music composed after about 1830 without any vibrato would seem (and sound) really strange to me (Julian, as a fellow cellist, would you agree?). So in summary: vibrato yes (sometimes)...

Just got a reply this morning - unfortunately they've canned all their Easter and Summer student position due to financial constraints.

Sorry!

You can also add a real name + years etc. in the signature section....then people know who's who! http://www.chforum.info/php/profile.php?mode=profil&sub=signature The "Real Name" box in the profile doesn't appear with each post (been trying to get it to for ages!), but is worth fillin...

Am I allowed now to maybe start a thread on the worst teacher, the most sadistic teacher or even the most bullied - by - the - pupils teacher? The best judgement for deciding what's OK and what's not is whether you'd say the same to the person face-to-face, or to their family face-to-face if they'r...

Have a friend who works at the British Library - have emailed her, will let you know if I get a response and there's anything suitable.

Very nice idea - will look into it and see if it's a mod that's available for this forum.
The Red Alert one looks like it's powered by vBulletin rather than phpbb, so not sure if there's an equivalent for this.

Will look though,

Does anyone else share my personal dislike for warbling sopranos? It seems that there's a tendency for the best sopranos to use excessive vibrato, to such an extent that their accuracy is poor, and wobble around the note? It seems established that this is the good style, and a pure sound without vib...
