Music Workshop

On Thursday morning, Year 5 and 6 were lucky enough to be involved in a music workshop in school.
David and Ian from the CBSO visited us to tell us a little about Dvorak and his 'symphony from the New World.' We were able to hear some extracts from each of the movements played on the violin and cello. Some of us had the chance to accompany with percussion instruments. David and Ian really helped us to understand WHAT we were listening to in each movement and how the rhythm and key can affect the mood of music.
We are now very excited about our visit to the Symphony Hall in February!
