A huge thank you to Andrew Dunlop and Jemma Brown for a wonderful peek into the world of music-making on Monday morning. They are in the middle of the 2013 LornLive Chamber Music Festival and took time out to visit us and give as an insight into the life of a professional performer. We learned about the importance of warming up and did some vocal exercises and then it was time to be the conductor and we took turns making Andrew and Jemma sing and play very loudly and very quietly. We also learnt that operas are often sung in different languages – today we heard Russian and French and also joined in learning an Italian song! We have all just started piano lessons and were amazed at how fast Andrew’s fingers flew across the piano.
What a fantastic way to start the school week.
