What a treat we had this morning! We celebrated all the amazing musical opportunities that the children get at SRH. County Music teach year 5 violins and year 3 clarinets and it was such a treat to see and hear how much they have learnt over this academic year. Class RJ showed off their skills on the clarinet with “Grumpy Old Man” and Year 5 played “Open String Boogie”
Class MB sang “Time to say hello” and year 2 children in Class
JT demonstrated some amazing rhythm work and keeping the beat to “Jerusalema”. Year 4, who sang their song at Snape Maltings,
sang “Celebrate St Patrick’s Day” so movingly.
The year 4 recorder club played ‘Kum-ba-ya’ and ‘Happy
Birthday’ in beautiful harmony.
Class MS and Class VW have been working on composition this term
and each class played their own compositions
based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons: Winter using their own conductor to lead the class playing a range of untuned
percussion instruments alongside the piano, violin and the cello.
We enjoyed listening to a range of soloists performing on
the recorder, clarinet, drums, cellist, pianist and guitarist. We also heard a few duets.
We finished with a treat from Mr Burch who played a medley
of songs which we all enjoyed including
rudiments and a paradiddle which we all
took part in.
A huge thank you to County Music for providing our wonderful clarinet and violin teachers, MSF, Mr Slatter, Mrs Lavery, Mr Bold, Mrs Johnson and of course Mrs Mawson who coordinates, liaises and organises all these wonderful music opportunities.
