Elephant Alligator Donkey Goat

Today was a busy day with SAT tests and violin class to fit in .

All classes had a closer look at the largest member of the string family , the double bass . Remember you can still use  Great Day At Ennis but the other way round from violin.   Try these animal names as a way of remembering the strings. The biggest one begins with E . Nathan , Joseph and Gabriel had a go at playing it .

Joseph gets to grips with the bass

All classes today put in side step into the Foxtrot . Two steps over and two steps back .  X Factor here we come.

We did lots of work on bow hold today . Remember thumb bent underneath the frog. Wrap  your fingers over , those rabbit teeth have to come over the pencil not sit on top.

Ms Bridge and Ms Gill's class practiced making a siren sound  lifting and replacing their first finger on D to make new note E    E D E D E D nee naw nee naw nee naw.

We looked at some of the photos in the papers about musical events .

Leaders today Sonja (Ms G,) David ,(Ms B) and James and Tadhg , (Mr C) Bravo all of you?
