While in the Odenwald as entertainers for the Burns Supper, Falkirk music teachers Susanne Bell and Gareth Lloyd were invited to two schools as part of a music project to teach children through music and song a little about Scottish culture.
With Susanne playing accordion and tin whistle and Gareth on guitar, almost 60 children learned songs in English with actions and dance and they particularly enjoyed a Gaelic song about the love of porridge! In return the Odenwald children performed a song about potatoes! Everyone participating and watching had a great time.
