    Fr John was a Ward Student of Dr Mary Berry (Mother Thomas More, CSA) at the Cambridge Ward Centre. She was often off to Ireland in the 60's and 70's to oversee things there. What a rare treat to see this My very last conversation with Dr Berry was about the Ward Method, and her fear it was fading away- she stated that after years of teaching music to children and even adults, there was no better method. Just about all the top potential Ward teachers who were English speakers were sent to study with Dr Berry at the Cambridge Centre by Mrs Ward.

    I'd love to play this video but I can't get it to work. Any help?

    Paul, you likely need to go thru a proxy server that will make the website think you're in Ireland. Some (all?) RTE material is not available for international viewing due to copyright restrictions.

    It works here in Masssachusetts. If Paul's using a phone or tablet, then trying again on a conventional PC might make a difference.
