On Wednesday 25th October Primary 4/3 were extremely excited to have a very special visit from John, a tuba and euphonium player in the RSNO.  As part of our music we were learning all about the orchestra, the different sections – brass, woodwind, strings and percussion.  In class we have been learning about different composers from both the past and present who composed well known pieces of music that are still very popular today.  When John came into the class he brought his instruments and the children learned all about how to play them as well as having the opportunity to hear him play.  The children also got to play the xylophones and learn about what a fanfare was and create their own in small groups. The time flew by so quickly but at the end of the visit there was an opportunity for the children to ask John questions that they had created themselves.  As a finale to the ‘Heroes and Villains’ topic the class attended an amazing live concert at the Glasgow Royal Concert hall on Tuesday 14th November – photos will be posted of this event in a further BLOG.
