Pupils at the school were very lucky to be able to listen to Paul Anderson playing fiddle at assembly. Paul has been working with Deveron Arts, who arranged the visit into school.

Paul explained the difference between a fiddle and a violin. He then played some traditional scottish tunes. Everyone”s toes were tapping! Next he played some haunting music and asked everyone to close their eyes and try to imagine what the music was about. Some children thought the music was very sad. Paul told us that it was about the lady from Fyvie Castle. He then invited the school to walk around the hall in time to a tune.

Everyone enjoyed listening to the music and learning more about fiddle music.
