Feddan update

08 Jan 2014

Three more schools completed the Feddan Manx whistle course with Chloe last term. Over 6 weeks of half hour lessons, whole classes at Willaston, St Mary’s and St Thomas’ schools learnt to play basic tin whistle using Manx music. The course is funded by Culture Vannin and forms part of the IOM Music Service’s long-term Primary Music Initiative which is managed by John Kinley. Rushen and Michael schools will receive lessons from Breesha and Chloe during the Spring term. There is also a special class in the Manx Folk Awards (7-9 April 2014) for classes who have learnt to play via the Feddan scheme of work, with a prize sponsored by Big Whistle Music.
