Class - 27th September

We had a full house at this week's class...which is almost unheard of for so early in the term! We continued work on 'Les Patineurs', and also the first of a collection of songs from 'The Threepenny Opera' by Kurt Weill...'Tango Ballad'...which is something a little bit different for us.

Small group items:

• 'A Musical Joke' by Mozart (Arr. Jane Gannaway) - Penny, Judy & Dermot
• Sonata in C minor by Schickhardt - George, Imogen, Annabel, Margaret & Joan
• 'Adagio Cantabile (Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup)' by Elgar - Heather, Diana, Helen, Theresa & Mike
• Quartet in C minor by Janitsch - Kath, John, Polly & Angela

Class - 20th September

We had our first class of the term on Thursday...we started work on a new piece 'Les Patineurs' (The Skaters) by Waldteufel...and welcomed a potential new member...John on violin. 'Les Patineurs' skated along nicely...despite the tricky changes of key and numerous repeats...and we didn't scare John off...so all in all it was a very successful evening!

Small group items:

• 'Five Gershwin Melodies for Four Woodwinds' (Arr. Denwood ) - Heather, Diana, Theresa & Mike
•  Sonata for Four Treble Recorders by Paisible - George, Penny, Judy, John, Margaret & Joan
• 'Kegelstatt Trio' by Mozart - Helen, Polly & Angela
