When you were at junior school

[derek kelly]

There was always a music teacher who tried enrolling people into the school choir, they were probably tone deaf or just sadistic as I was picked, little did I know what I was getting into, for some reason our music teacher Mr Naylor (evil personified) had us singing a pointless & nonsensical Cockney anthem,”Oranges & lemons” why? Non of us had ever heard of Cockneys, Cockneys had never ventured as far as Yorkshire, they’d never heard of or seen beautiful countryside, they were still greeting each other with “awright geezer, larvly wevver innit?” To which the usual response would be “cushty guv” (so I was later informed, not knowing anything about cockneys at the time)
I was just wondering if cockney school kids in the late sixties were made to sing “on ilkla moor baht’at”

We had a gorgeous music teacher. Bit disappointed to eventually discover that she was a rug muncher.
Really buggered up my wet dreams....

I would imagine that being made to sing a Yorkie county anthem would have put the bejeebers up anyone.
That and wild sheep roaming about with their arses permanently stuck up in the air, expecting the, errrm..expected.
Thank fook i'm on this side of the pennines.

At the start of every year, during the first music lesson the master would instruct the class to stand, and all sing a hymn from te book.
He would walk along and if he touched your shoulder you sat down

After the first year, he changed his instruction to my class

"All stand and sing hymn no what ever he chose and sit down if I touch your shoulder. Smith, you do not have to stand"

I didn't realise then how entertaining a lesbian munch-off would be...

As the saying goes... "coat me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians".

I didn't sing, I played the trombone

More like the one eyed piccolo.

I was sent home from school, informing my parents I'd been kissing my boyfriend in the school play ground...I wonder what happened to him

Your father buried him under the patio.

5 years straight I took violin lessons
After five years I could read music, but fat stubby fingers precluded any chance of transferring what was on paper to something even remotely resembling music

There are very few that can make a nice noise with a violin.

Even fewer that can make a nice noise with a recorder, despite what millions of misguided doting parents think....

Unfortunately nothing as dramatic as that, my Dad was in the RAF and we got posted, in fact my Mum told me that his Mum had told her he was heartbroken that I was leaving
