Prosiect Ysgolion Shrewsbury School's Project

23/6/2010

Helo Calanettes!
Dyma ni, yn Shrewsbury am yr wythnos. Ryn ni yma yna gweithio yn Ysgol Gynradd St.Georges gan rhoi drochiad llwyr o gerddoriaeth a thraddodiadau Cymreig, boed yn alawon, caneuon, dawnsio ac hyd yn oed iaith. Erbyn Nos Wener, bydd 350 o blant yn canu Lawr ae Lany Mor, a grwp o 30 yn chwarae alawon megis Pwt ar y Bys, Ffidl Ffadl, Marwnad yr Ehedydd ac Hen Ferchetan.

The kids at St.George's Junior School, where we're working for the week, are amazing. They've been picking up the tunes, the songs, the dances, and even the language, so quickly. I think it's amazing project - and you can't help but learn and enjoy when you're immersed in the stuff for one long intensive week. Other schools, festivals and folk organisations should learn from this, and start similar projects. The huge cuts to public spending is worrying, but we shouldn't loose sight at how educational and enjoyable the arts are. This week has certainly proved to us how important it is to pass this traditional material on to the younger generation - we're all getting so much out of it!

Hwn yw un o'r cyfleoedd cyntaf i ni fel band i wneud rhywbeth tebyg i hyn. Mae'n eironig braidd taw yn ysgol yn Lloegr sydd wedi gwahodd ni; band Cymreig yn addysgu plant nhw am ein traddodiadau ni. Yn wir, mae nifer o blant yr ysgol a gwreiddiau Cymreig, ac hyd yn oed heb y cyswllt hynny, mae dysgu mwy am draddodiadau unrhyw genedl arall yn cyfoethogi bywyd. Trueni nad oes llawer o bethau tebyg yn digwydd yng Nghymru. Mae sefydliadau megis Trac a Clera yn gwneud gwaith arbennig i hybu cerddoriaeth traddodiadol - ond mae angen fwy o gefnogaeth arnynt! Plis wnewch chi cefnogi nhw, er mwyn sicrhau dyfodol disglair i'n traddodiadau!
