Thursday 13th December was a memorable assembly for the children at Blandford St Mary Primary School. Four of our music teachers visited us and shared their expertise with us. There were even children from the school who were brave enough to perform to the rest of the school!
First up was our violins. Natalia and Charlotte played us two tunes that they had learnt - Well Done!
Next came the guitar and Daniel, who has only been learning for a short time, played Jingle Bells for us. Mrs Ansell also played to us.
Then Mr Turnbull played the trumpet for us. He let everyone make a trumpet shape with their hand and blow through it so they could play their own hand trumpet.
Brass lessons have only been taking place since March but still, Tom came out to play a scale and the theme from Wallace and Grommit. Fab stuff!
Finally, came Mr Manners on the drum kit. He has several spaces due to Year 6 leavers last year and lots of children certainly seemed keen!
Everyone clapped the steady beat and Mr Manners improvised over the top. It was great.
At Blandford St Mary we are developing a wide range of music lessons to offer the children. These are:
- Piano
- Trumpet
- Tenor Horn
- Cello
- Double Bass
- Violin
- Guitar
- Drums
- Recorder club
If your child is interested in learning an instrument then please do come in and ask at Reception to find out more information.
