P4,P4/5 and P5 had their first visit today from two professional musicians as part of the Live Music Now project that the school are lucky enough to be involved in this session.  Rachel and Holly visited the school and performed for the children on their trumpet and tuba. The children were told about the history of each instrument and they participated  in some simple rhythm work to develop pupil awareness of the concept  of pulse. The ladies demonstrated different playing techniques with each instrument and how sounds can be changed.  Through the pieces of music that were played, the children also found out about different styles of music and musical themes. The children were particularly good at identifying popular tunes such as Mission Impossible, Star Wars and Coronation Street. We are looking forward to welcoming 4 more musicians to school later this session as part of the project.
