179 Sample answer Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you on behalf of my class as we are interested in doing a joint music project with your school. We believe your school would be a great match for us because we also specialise in traditional music. We are currently working on broadening our range of songs by including music from around the world. At the same time, we would like to share our traditional Austrian music with you so that we can compare different musical styles and learn from each other. At our school, music is a core subject, and all pupils are required to take music lessons in addition to the academic subjects. Every student has to learn at least one instrument, such as the piano, guitar or accordion, and many play even more. Our school orchestra is well known in the local area and regularly performs at special events and openings. Furthermore, we have a school choir which has won awards in both local and national competitions. Could you please let me know what options there might be for sharing music between our schools? I was wondering if exchanging audio files could be a good way to start. We would particularly enjoy music featuring traditional Irish instruments such as the fiddle or harp. Later on, we could invite even more schools from around the world to join our project and make it truly international. If this project is of interest to you, I would appreciate it if you could get in touch to discuss our next steps. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
