There was probably a whole lot of scaffolding under that dress.  ;D

Totally gorgeous though isn't she. ?
Apparently she's a lovely person too. 🙂

How many of U had music as part of your school education?

Apparently schools are going to be allowed an hour a week - well that wouldn't have got my clarinet warmed up!   As well as a lack of music teachers.  We had peripatetic teachers too.

I had one to one piano lessons in primary school and the same with guitar in secondary school but obviously needed to own the instruments.

Our Authority had instruments available although I had a recorder and clarinet when it was recognised that I would stick to practicing  ::)

I wish I'd stuck to piano lessons,when I hear a great pianist, I always feel disappointed in myself that I didn't keep it up,I was actually ok,played until about the age of 18 but then the nightclubs beckoned lol
The clarinet was what I originally wanted to play but my mum couldn't afford one but we owned a piano so........

I was part of the 1st recorder group in Primary Schools in the 1960s.  That led to clarinet.
