They have to able to tell me the notes and valves used or slide positions. Prizes for the best 2. I am also hoping to be able to put on some downloadable music for them to play along to.

Brass lessons.

We hope that you have had a great Christmas break. Just a quick reminder to make sure that your brass instrument is working properly, especially the valves. Don't wait until Thursday to get them working, as there won't be time.

All back

Well we arrived back from York on time! Thanks to Dominic, our driver from Staintons, for that. I would just like to add that your children have been great and have been complemented by many people on their behaviour and manners . They have been a credit to the school and to you. They should be tired as yesterday was a long day for them. Have a great half term Year 5 and see you Monday week.
