This term Port Ellen Primary have been getting visits from the local musician Keira who has been teaching them how to play some Scottish instruments like the Tin Whistle, Harp and Fiddle. The aim is that at the end Kira will pick the people who are best at playing each instrument and we will all learn a song all together.
We learnt how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb on the Tin Whistle, and everyone got a go on the Harp and Fiddle. Everyone learnt what the different colored strings mean on a Harp and that the thing you play a Fiddle with is called a Bow. It is very interesting learning new instruments.
