Imran Siddique goes to
a secondary school for
boys, where PE,
Science and Maths are
the most popular
subjects on the
timetable. Fourteenyear-old
Imran has the
voice of an angel, but
singing is not cool, or
is it?
Last year, the music teacher,
Gareth Malone, started a
school choir. He decided to
have auditions so he put a
message on the noticeboard
near the canteen. Imran saw
the message, but he didn’t join
the choir. Why? Because his
friends didn’t think singing
was cool.
The new choir practised in the
hall every week, without
Imran. The boys didn’t like
classical music, but Gareth
found them some modern
songs and they were happy.
Even the PE teachers joined in!
They were so good that they
won a place at a big concert in
London, but one special person
wasn’t in the choir.
Gareth knew that Imran was a
good singer. One morning he
looked for Imran in the break.
Imran’s friends were into rap
music and Gareth listened to
them rapping. This gave him
an idea …
Gareth arranged a special
piece of music for the choir.
It included a rap and a solo for
Imran. The day of the concert
arrived and the boys travelled
to London. There were
thousands of people in the
audience so they felt a bit
nervous. It was time for the
choir to perform. After the
concert, what was Imran’s
reaction? ‘I was over the
moon, 110%!’ At last singing
was cool!
