Orchestra - Peer Gynt



Today we went to hear 3 members of the Nelson Symphony Orchestra play for us. They played the clarinet, violin and oboe. You could break the clarinet into little pieces and put it in a box. It sounded sly. There was a big clarinet and a little one. The violin could play happy and scary music. Instead of using the bow you can pluck the strings. You can take the reed out of the oboe and it sounds like a duck call. If you blow it without a reed it sounds like just blowing. It is really hard to blow it ... you have to be at least 11 years old to learn. It plays refreshing and sleepy music.

David told us about a concert on Saturday for children. David dressed up as the King Troll. It looks very life-like, scary but funny.

Hello Room 8.

This is Janes Dad. It looks as if you have a great class and have lots of learning fun. The swimming sports looked like lots of fun was had by all.
