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

Class - 10th May

We almost had a 'full house' at this week's class, and are making real progress with our large ensemble pieces. We picked up speed in 'Crown Imperial', and even the rhythms in 'Olympic Fanfare & Theme' seemed less daunting a week on!

Small group items:

• Sonata for Four Treble Recorders by Paisible - Imogen, Penny, Judy, Diana & Joan
• 'Allegro molto' by Beethoven (Arr. H. Brammer) - Heather, Annabel, Kath, Theresa, Dermot & Angela
• 'The Witches Frolic' by Granville Bantock - Margaret, Mike & Helen

Next week's class should be interesting - we're split between two locations again!
