Meeting Alison Martin (Music Teacher) Burravoe School, Yell – 1th February 2015.

A very useful and constructive meeting took place after the school day had finished. Without going into all the discussions, the following points were agreed.

1. Both Burravoe and Cullivoe primary schools seem keen to be involved in both the production of some musical material, and also performing the same.
2. Each school will produce one “Childrens Song” under the guidance of the teaching staff. The schools will take an inter-disciplinary approach.
3. The schools preferred option was to include this activity in the next (2015/16) school year. Thus a November 2015 performance would be ideal. (I have since written to ask for any preferred dates.)
4. The schools will provide input into the decision as to whether to do a single performance, in either Burravoe or Cullivoe Hall, or to aim for two – one in each venue.
5. Well before the start of the next school year, I will provide ideas for the songs, and the context within the overall production.

As ever on my visit, I received nothing but help and cooperation from the Yell community. As work progresses more blog entries will be made on the work through the schools.
