P5 enjoyed a fantastic days musical experience with David Trouton. We learned how easy it was to write down music by looking at the amazing story of how and why music notation came about. There were loads of games, exercises, songs and activities to take part in as the workshop wound its way through history, looking at the role played by music from pre-historic times, through the Greek and Roman era to the Picts in Scotland and the medieval church in Europe.
The day culminated in the children producing a musical score to accompany a story, all of which was performed to a suitable receptive and appreciative P6 & P7 audience.
