FunSongs at Feltrinelli in Florence


Amy Hough presents the FunSongs CD

The prestigious downtown Florence branch of Italy's well-known bookshop chain Feltrinelli invited FunSongs to present the CD "Action Songs for Learning English" as part of a series of events for kids. Amy Hough and I took a train down from Bologna and had fun teaching a group of primary school children "Time to Play", "The Monster March", "Our Autumn Song and "On Halloween".
Feltrinelli were happy with the event - specially as all the families that came purchased the CD. This was Amy's very first FunSongs event - she was able to show she has a real way with kids.

FSC Casalecchio meeting

On Saturday Gloria Vannucchi and I met Elena Iacucci, assesore della cultura at Casalecchio di Reno council, one of the largest municipalities in Bologna Province outside the city itself. She was most encouraging and supportive and we'll get back to her soon with a specific request in the light of meetings with Zola Predosa Council and Presidente Casodio of UISP this week. Still no word from Stefano Rizzoli of Monte S. Pietro.
