Children pen their own ballads Budding balladeers at Montgomery Church in Wales school have been busy writing their own songs based on tales of adventure from the past and present. Children in years 4, 5 and 6 are working with composer Ian Morgan-Williams and poet Pat Edwards to write a series of ballads. Some children are working online, and some are in the classroom in school, as part of a project supported by Mid Wales Opera’s ‘Milltir Sgwar’ programme. Pat, a professional poet, is working with the children to create their own ballads which Ian will then set to music. Pat said: “Music has its challenges online, trying to synchronise everyone, but the students are enthusiastic and full of great ideas.”
