Brass Bedlam a hoot
Aug 17, 2015
SFS went along to watch Brass Bedlam at Harrisfield Primary on Friday - what a great show to teach and to entertain. There were lots of moments of fantastic musicianship interspersed with involving the students. It all flowed so seamlessly that we learned about the history of brass instruments and how different countries developed different types of brass music, while being thoroughly entertained.
The success of the show was summed up by 2 comments:
1. A student was obviously inspired and asked about learning the trumpet
2. Teacher Deb Kampl said "Even Jacob was engaged!" High praise. Jacob has learning difficulties and doesn't often focus on what is happening around him.
In fact, this was one of several performances/arts activities for the school's Arts Festa Week, organised by visual arts teacher, Deb Kampl. More on that tomorrow.
