This year, some of our children in year 6 are having a special lesson from a peripatetic music teacher where they are learning how to play the guitar. Initially, the teacher showed the children how to hold the guitar at a slant so that they could see the strings on the instrument. Then, the children have been learning to play simple notes. The group has also started reading the notes in a book and trying to play these successfully. Ivy said, “It is great that we get the opportunity to learn a new instrument. The notes on the stave, that we learnt in years 4 and 5, have helped us to do this. Willow added, “We have been able to develop as musicians and we are going to be able to use these skills in the future.”
