Sir, – It seems that there will be a reduction in religious education in schools and that there will be an increase in foreign languages (News, December 28th). Perhaps this is now the time to introduce the language of music, which has an international dimension, by having school orchestras with the students learning how to play musical instruments at an early age. Bring music into the life of children. – Yours, etc,
