Live Music Tour – Strings Team
The Somerset Music strings team had a day out in South Somerset performing the musical story of Billy Goats Gruff to children at locals schools.
Tatworth Primary School
“We had an exciting start to the term with three members of Somerset Music presenting the children in Reception, year 1 and year 2 with a musical story of The Billy Goat’s Gruff”
Quotes from year 2
Lenny: ‘I liked the cello because it made a dark and deep sound for the Troll.’
Elliot B: ‘Mrs Hurley said she can do cello lessons at school’
Elsie: ‘I liked the flute because it had a high pitch’
Harry: ‘I Liked the violin because it played at a slow speed but had a high pitch’
Jenson: ‘I like their teamwork and I liked the instruments as voices for the characters’
This was a valuable experience for all the pupils, giving them the opportunity to hear live music performed by professional players. If your school is interested in a live demo concert by Somerset Music tutors then please contact somersetmusic@somerset.gov.uk
