Post any comments you have or any your students have made here. Let's debate!

I made some of the pix bigger by clicking on the little plus sign so
I could read them. The point about British influence on American
bands has an interesting history. I'd like to see a list of more
influences and how they happened.
The Killers are a great band but you could not mistake them for a
British band. I saw them on stage at Glastonbury and Brandon was
wearing a gold suit. They do like to put on a BIG show. UK bands
would rather not look like they are trying too hard. What do you
reckon?

The Killers are great, but I have to say that the whole killers
thing
reminds me of the mid 90s and bands like shed seven. The gold suit
thing is very american, but I like my no frills rock bands.
Performance of the summer has to go to the Kings of Leon at the
Reading Festival -
rocking, no frills great band with a heck of a back catalogue
building up.
I'm really looking forward to the time when there's loads of these
comments waiting from teachers around the globe!

Just a quick note from me and Khalil to say welcome to Santana, our
latest recruit. Music: an international language now operating in 3
countries... the UK, Bahrain and now India!
Keep it coming!
If anybody would like to add music clips onto this site it would be
great to hear from you... a webpage dedicated to music from around
the world, posted from teachers and students alike will be a great
advert for all us music teachers who want to spread the word.
Regards
Jonny

Stage 1
Jonny and Khalil met in Manama as part of the British Council's partnership fair in March 2007. They discussed the ideas behind having a project based firmly in Music and English Language skills
Stage 2
Jonny put together a song list which included a wide range of music, some of which Khalil had mentioned as music he loved
Stage 3
Jonny put together CDs and gave these CDs to 2 classes (7C and 8C) who spent 2 lessons reviewing them and forming their opinions about the music. Big 'thought storm' projects were put together and sent to Bahrain
Stage 4
At present Khalil is delivering the same set of songs to students in his school in Bahrain. Work will be exchanged shortly.
The idea is that both sets of students will get to see how students in a different part of the world feel about the music they listen to, and we expect the responses to be similar.
