Outside my window half past 12, So different from the world I’m living in, Find the end of the rainbow but there’s nothing there to see, No one inside. I look around the room and I open the window, And I gaze into the night, It makes me so depressed watching the late show, Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars. There’s not a soul out there, No one to hear my prayers.

rehearsal techniques. We tried to rehearse outside of lessons once a week but due to other commitments such as part time jobs and other rehearsals this wasn’t always possible. USed our time wisely.
Communication and decision making. We created a Whatsapp group to keep in touch after lesson time and most people were really active in that chat. Good group work in rehearsals too.
