Update 79
Beautiful music from “Anthem Lights” - “A Million Dreams”. This song was just one of the songs that was sung by over 2500 young children from all over the Northern District. Kudos to all the amazing work done by the initiators of the project - Dr Tziona Levi and Betzalel Kuper Waser. This was multi disciplinary collaboration at its finest. The list is too long to mention here but you know who you are and “Learn in Tune” thanks you all for an amazing event. The culmination of months of hard work and beautiful voices engulfed the amphitheater in Bet Shean. Well done to Anat Dor for orchestrating the whole event. Amazing work done together by the English and Music inspectorates. We are blessed.
Here is a snippet to show you what I mean

“A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take” Pasek & Paul
That says it all.

A few suggestions
As we enter the final weeks of our school year, I am sure you are all in the process of organizing final parties. I would suggest that each school performance should have English represented and what better way than to sing out loudly and proud.
Here are a few suggested songs that can be found on our Learn in Tune Site - bit.ly/learnintune
Ani Ve Ata (You and I) in English - Arik Einstein
Count on Me - Bruno Mars
Shavim (Equal) - Elai Botner
I can be - Yakov Shwekey
Free to be you and me - New Seekers
Sing for the Climate and many more
Feel free to suggest others and I will gladly add them to the site.
Reading Matters
Thanks to the wonderful teachers who sent reading material to back up what I have been saying - like you need even more convincing.

I was arguing with a guy in the restaurant last night. He said he was a big p[op star in the 80’s.
I didn’t believe him but he was adamant.

I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
