This has historical context - Information with capital i - and still lets you make your own story. Also has more than one interview playing at once yet still intelligible, which is a trick I’ve not heard before 😁 www.rte.ie/radio/docono...
Piano lessons, Sliding Scales
A story that follows a number of girls who are taking piano lessons, some who want to learn and some who don't.

Listening to a few of Kaye Mortley’s docs and liking them but wishing for a little more story structure. But then listening to heavily explained ones and wishing to be left alone a bit to listen after my ears were used to free rein.

I’ve been listening to and watching a lot of documentaries this week for research and planning teaching. It’s inspiring and also emotionally draining. And now I have to go Christmas food shopping, which is quite the wake up call.
