Aren’t the Perthshire lot a lovely bunch! We recently had a brilliant day doing workshops with the children of Rattray Primary School and the Robert Douglas Memorial Primary School. We played them a variety of repertoire covering a number of different styles and genres including some famous tunes which they instantly recognised (always goes down a treat!). We showed them how to conduct and direct us, and we also taught them how to identify high and low sounds. For a complete change of pace, we asked them to close their eyes while we played Lakme’s Flower Duet before asking them how it made them feel. Most of them said “peaceful”! (Phew!). We also played a few pieces about animals and asked them to guess which ones they were.
