David Haines

In early March he worked with Manor Park Primary School, Aston, Birmingham - they'll be performing Powers of Ten with Teignmouth and Ivybridge Community Choirs at the British Science Festival in Birmingham on 17th September 2010. It is an inner-city school with a very multi-cultural make-up and the school sees this as a great opportunity to increase their profile within the city, to develop their singing and performing skills, and to improve the school's sense of self-esteem.

In mid March he'll be working with children at Chilcompton School, Somerset (near Radstock) to write two science songs about Materials. Later he'll be teaching them three of my materials-related science songs (Atom, Charmed Quark and String - so pretty fundamental stuff!) and we'll do a performance of all the songs in a concert during the summer term.

On March 19th David is taking part in the Teignmouth Science Festival with a workshop at 10 a.m. for primary schools on and a performance in the evening of Powers of Ten Science Oratorio.

Later he's flying off to Cambridge, Massachusetts to be present at performances of his work in the Cambridge Science Festival. He'll also be travelling down to Washington DC during that visit to liaise with choirs and schools taking part in Powers of Ten as part of the USA Science and Engineering Festival on Powers of Ten day - the 10th day of the 10th month of 2010.
