At our school, senior students who want to learn an instrument can join the orchestra and participate from their very first lesson. Some students have ukulele or recorder lessons on Fridays, and they can practise at lunch times when the music room is open. These are some photos of the orchestra practising Autumn by Vivaldi. We will be recording it soon and posting it on our music blog.

It's great to have mini keyboards so more students can learn to play together. Playing together in an orchestra is the ultimate of Team work!
And when we discover a visiting teacher plays the ukulele, we enlist her help to work with a group of beginners.
The percussionists are creating their own rhythms - in ways that Vivaldi could never have imagined.
Mrs Lee works with the guitarists.
