All classes began with the Blues which will feature on our next programme.
Next we tried out a new rhythm,  Rasp - ber -ry, Straw- ber-ry  which includes not one but two sets of triplets.  Mr Connolly played a lively  jig for this rhythm . Jelena in Ms Gill's class was brilliant at this rhythm and we didn't need backing tracks in Ms Bridge's class as she and Roisin played a cool version of Chopstix for her class to play along with.

We had lots of fun with the tremelo game  and all three classes were really good at following the leader. It was really hard to catch anyone out but Ciaran was the ultimate champ.

Finally Mr Connolly's class worked on  a tango from Argentina . La Cumparsita . Check out the video of this piece on the right.

Tremelo Champ: Ciaran,
