Music to their ears
Pupils from Bonhill Primary received their brass instruments from the West Dunbartonshire Council Instrumental Music Service. The children from primary 6 and 7 are part of a large intake of new pupils who will be given orchestral instruments and start tuition over the coming weeks. Democrat reader Carol Williams Young said: “The instrumental music service is a brilliant project, I know loads of children over the years that have gone on to pursue a career in music because they were introduced to the pleasure of learning to play an instrument, be part of an orchestra and exposed to a vast array of classical, modern and contemporary music through this service . The SNP administration alomost put a halt to music in schools during the austerity period when grass cutting and other public services were slashed when Nicola Sturgeon said there was no need to do that in West Dunbartonshire.
