Hi chas I had actually taken a couple of years hiatus from the children’s choir I work with but I kind of didn’t like to see them falling into disarray so have stepped back in . It’s really hard to find committed people who will sacrifice their time and talents to work with younger children .

But having said that , their isn’t a more rewarding job 😉. I love children and I know in today’s climate (post Kevin spacey ) that’s a dangerous thing in particular for a man to say , but it’s true . And if they don’t have strong positive role models to follow , then this world will show them plenty of negative ones .

Interms of the montage , I get the impression it has not been anywhere near the success as the motif range was . I play with a fair amount of gospel musicians and I have not seen a montage on stage yet but plenty motifs and Roland synths/workstations.

I think Yamaha know they made a mistake with the montage and are trying to recoup their losses ,
