| During his studies in Glasgow, Bonnie offered voluntary music teaching to schools within the Glasgow community. It was a shock for him to realize that so many schools in Scotland were without music teachers. It was a great joy for him to be accepted by schools who gave him the opportunity to work with their children. He equipped pupils with both singing and instrumental skills, using the Arts (Music) to teach life skills - team work, self-discipline, social skills, self-expression, self-esteem and creativty. Music is one of the few areas of study available to pupils that can bring such a diversity of positive factors within the same learning environment.
He also had the opportunity to establish for the first time ever in the Royal Academy - a Gospel Choir, comprising of staff and students. The Gospel choir was like a 'melting pot' in the academy; it brought staff and members from all the various departments, including John Wallace (The Principal).
Bonnie's hardwork and new innovations into the degree programme earned him his Masters Degree with a Merit.
