Year 2 Barbican Visit

On Tuesday Year 2 visited the Barbican Centre for another concert with the London Symphony Orchestra, this time presented by the conductor Tim Redmond.  The theme was Musical Mechanics. Through this, the children have been learning that making music is a bit like fixing a car -  we can take it all apart, identify the problem, improve it and put it back together again.  The children sang the songs they had practised at school beautifully and enjoyed jumping in their seats every time they heard the boom of the bass drum during 'The infernal dance of the firebird', composed by Ivor Stravinsky.
