And then, armed with some of our old favourite songs, our newly learned Christmas carols and our trusty descants, altos and tenor, we set out to share our music with the residents at Cooinda.
How lovely it was to hear them sing along with us - the melodic “Good King Wenceslas”, “Silent Night” and “We Three Kings” with three different recorder parts, the joyful “Deck the Halls” and “Joy to the World” were popular. “Jingle Bells” was the perfect finisher.
Our final 2019 Recorder session was held at North East Artisans - chatting and chewing in their charming courtyard with not a recorder in sight but with plenty of plans to practise and play again next year.
