Friday 9 October 2020 It's All about the brass Year Four/Five have absolutely loved the time they have spent so far learning to play brass instruments. This is a ten week programme where children are taught by professionals musicians. Instruments include; trumpets, trombones and tubas. Miss Kenny popped her head into the session on Tuesday and was greeted by magnificent sounds and I know that parents are loving hearing the children rehearse at home too.
