I've just listened to the rest of the Airbus cd,
Moonlight - The 'Moonlight' sonata does nothing for me but other pieces ooh, they so do! I think that here James, although meaning well, you might have undone all the good work, built up in the rest of the book. You see, even if the tasks you have formerly set, aren't actually performed by your pupils, they could, at a pinch pretend to have done them having recalled your instructions, However, stick a bloke at a party, in front of the woman of his dreams and have him attempt to play this soulful piece? I'm sorry love, that would be on a par with him imbibing a bucketload of booze and then attempting the kareoke rendition of
'I Wanna Know What Love Is'. x
p.s. I wish you every success with this new outpouring. As for making men more manly...
flogging a dead horse there mister!
