It feels like we hardly got started for the year and we have had to stop!
Music is playing an important role in the lockdown process, as it does all the time.
Keep practising!

The Recorder Group welcomed two new players into the heady world of descant, alto and tenor recorders. By the time they had learnt/revised a few new notes and beat patterns Janet had them joining in as we revised some of the many songs in our repertoire. For our next session the newcomers will come in at 10:00 for some individual work with Janet, the more experienced players at 10:30. During one of February's sessions a break out group played around a ute! Andi explains "We are playing around the ute as the group has three beginners, and Janet gave them a half-hour's coaching first. The rest of us decided we'd play in the big room, but alas the scrabble-players were there. Luckily the wind was not too strong, so we played a few tunes outside". Andi Stevenson
