Students noticed the picture of St Cecilia that Mrs Carter keeps in her violin case, and had a lovely conversation about St Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians.
Students also very much enjoyed learning more about the musical scale - both listening and singing it, as Mrs Carter used her violin to teach them! Thank you so very much Mrs Carter for sharing your expertise!!
Students received paper copies in class of the following songs: The Garden Song, Simple Gifts, St Michael Song. If you would like an additional copy, please don't hesitate to email me at jrtabe@ymail and I will happily send whatever you are missing.
