The Naked Piano - Part 2

The Piano is a remarkable instrument.
Hana and Evie demonstrated the inner workings:
- soft hammers
- dampening parts 
- pedals
- wooden keys
- thick and long strings for the low notes
- thin and short strings for the high notes

Brass has arrived at Te Pahu School!

Thanks to an exceedingly kind donation from the Tosse family, the music room now has a lovely red trumpet and trombone. 
Room 4 had a great time playing them today. 

 Here's Lucy demonstrating the first steps:

 


1. Go red in the face

2. Make a farting noise with the mouthpiece.








When you've got this down, it's time to graduate to the trumpet.

Casey-Lee has done this before. Her Dad is a brass player from way back.




Max had it down in no time.
