BBC Orchestra of Wales – BSL resource

Posted in News

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales have launched new resources and films which features a young girl performing ‘Million Dreams’ from the film ‘The Greatest Showman’ in BSL.

During this difficult time, many children who are leaving school are unable to hold their leaving assemblies or end of year concerts so we have made these so the children can celebrate together.

Please find below a link to the website –

In the first video there are two young musicians singing and signing (BSL) the song, to help children learn how it goes. The subtitles are in both English and Welsh, and the BBC is offering downloadable lyric sheets in both languages.

The second video is an opportunity for children to sing along with the backing track of the BBC NOW themselves! This second video includes a young signer (BSL) and Welsh and English subtitles.

The BBC is hoping that this track can be used by both individuals and schools to sing a song with a powerful message about future hopes and dreams, whilst celebrating their journey together so far. There is even a fun certificate for the children to download for themselves after performing the song!
