Percussion Workshop

On Tuesday, we all came into school excited to participate in our next TY workshop with Dave. We began our workshop by each choosing an African drum to play on, we played on drums called 'Djembe Drums'. We learned how to play lots of different rhythms on these drums.

Next we moved on to creating Poly-rhythm sounds, playing different rhythms on various instruments. I never knew there was so many different African instruments that are used daily, I like others, just assumed the Bongo was the main instrument used!

Near the  our workshop, we had a freestyle period! This was where we seperated into groups and created our own rhythms with the drums and other instruments.

Caresse Sur L'ocean

Our choir is currently preparing to enter into the Wesley School's Choir Competition at the end of this month! We have been very busy practicing our song 'Caresse Sur L'ocean' from the french movie 'Les Choristes'. I really enjoy singing this song, I think it sounds really well with the piano accompaniment. I sing the Soprano II line along with all the other sopranos!

Above is a clip of the choir from the Les Choristes movie singing the piece!

I am really enjoying being part of the choir this year, and I am looking forward to performing this piece at Wesley!
