Music for a Dream School

This is the official blog of the music coordinator for a Creative Partnerships project taking place in the Forest of Dean involving pupils and staff from St Johns CofE School, Coleford.
Tue May 1

Staff music group is GO!

This afternoon we had our very first play together. Here’s the line up:

Me - Bass Guitar
Mrs Kirby - French Horn
Mrs Griffiths - Cornet
Mrs Griffiths - Piano (and band leader)
Mrs Sagar - Drums
Mrs Dowle - Guitar
Mrs Wagstaff - Clarinet
Mrs Peaper - Clarinet

In an hour or so we got through Yesterday by Lennon & McCartney and Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Tim Rice and Elton John and it was really very gratifying to see how much musical ability there is there amongst these staff at the school. It was also a lot of fun!

If you click on the links to the songs in the paragraph above you will hear the recordings I grabbed using my trusty digital recorder.
