School feet hit musicians beat

The all-singing, all dancing London-based Bassistry Arts Group ran a workshop in Fram School Hall that helped Hitcham learn rhythm and beat and put the whole school on their feet.


Guitarist Marcel and drummer Sam, put on a spell-binding workshop that inspired children and teachers to sing and dance.







"It was awesome," said children from class DB.





"You walked in and you thought we're here to have fun - but what was really good was that we were learning stuff too," said Alfie and Will.




And the atmosphere was cool too.



"It looked like a concert because when we walked in they were already playing," said Emelia.

In the two dayworkshop Bassistry taught song and dance routines to pupils and staff in an intensive musical experience.




Marcel and Sam led a whole school assembly where everybody joined in a mass performance.



We would recommend Bassistry Arts to any school. Sam and Marcel are very talented and great value. They have a website:
Thanks to Mr Peter Warren for helping to write this report. He is a freelance journalist and a parent of a child in class DB.
He came to speak to us about being a journalist so we asked him to help us write this article.
We really like his headline.
