Further, they run a programme for local schools, Birmingham Choral Education Partnership, which means that their music team goes into schools to run weekly choral workshops, learning music from the pupils\u2019 own heritage as well as traditional Western classical composers. They also put on instrument workshops: paid work that helps to bring further capacity, resource, and capability to the overall department.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you give children the opportunity of engaging with choral music, and show them the power of it, they simply love it. The notion that children from my community aren\u2019t interested in, or don\u2019t enjoy, choral music, is nonsense, absolute nonsense; and the parents just can\u2019t do enough to help, too,\u201d Mr Duncan-Banerjee says.<\/p>\n
He is exultant that, having sung William Mathias\u2019s \u201cSir Christ\u00e8mas\u201d, the choristers just can\u2019t help bursting into \u201cNowell, nowell\u201d at the slightest opportunity. \u201cThat\u2019s when it gets really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
