With the altos M.I.A.the descants held the fort for the second August session. Interspersed with our known and familiar songs “The Floral Dance.” and “Mozart’s Lullaby” provided lots of new learning experiences - new high notes, trills and general pauses - all of which we will be dutifully practising at home. We had chance to revisit lots of songs from our earlier sessions and finished the session with a new piece, “Lorelei” and the beautiful “Skye Boat Song”.

"And now I find photos I meant to send in many weeks back; Janet explaining the history of sheet music notation (it is very interesting, and she is a very good teacher) and Pat's music stand (her iPad, but the Coles brochure was to stop the music interfering with the touch screen. But it worked.)" Andrea Stevenson Thank you Andi!

Pat Treleaven "It was a hardworking session with lots of learning opportunities. Some new songs, some favourites, some songs that “have potential “ which is music speak for...”will sound good when we get it right.” Time spent starting and finishing together, getting the breathing right and most importantly appreciating some lovely recorder melodies and harmonies. Who knew the recorder could sound so good!"
