Recorder Workshop and Concert January 2020
We were very lucky to welcome Tom and Lizzie (Recorder Specialists) back to Velmead to work with our recorder groups. They worked on playing and breathing techniques, as well as listening skills, then we learnt a new piece of music. At the end of the workshops, both groups played the music to the whole school in an assembly.
