And the band played on!

This week in Class 3  we have been finding out about the musicians who were members of the Titanic crew.

We discovered that there were 8 of them altogether. Most of them played stringed instruments (violins, cello and bass) and one of them played the piano.

We found out that they played as a quintet (a group of 5 ) and a  trio (a group of 3). We formed our own quintet and trio using the same instruments. We then got really creative and also performed as a quartet, a duet and even had some solo artists!

Jason thought the music session was brilliant. He loved wearing the waistcoat. He  dueted with Miss Robertson.  Miss Robertson played the piano and Jason was on the violin. They both sang as well. Jason named the band ‘Sinkless’. They created a classic song called ‘The Titanic is going down’.

Josh tried out the violin, the cello, the bass and the piano. He really liked playing the bass because it was giant (and very heavy!).

  1. Wow boys, you look super. I enjoyed talking to all of you about this activity as you were all so enthusiastic.
    What a clever name for the band. If only the Titanic was ‘sinkless’ too.
