Jemima's debut as a trombone player!

After all the drumming last week , time for a different musical interlude. Jemima made her debut at her school charity christmas concert. She has only been playing the trombone since September and I think it must be very hard for the teacher to teach a WHOLE class at one time, especially as they are learning several different instruments!! It is a great opportunity to have a go and give children access to playing who might not otherwise do so.

Anyway, here is a taste of what they have acheived. Click on the picture below if you want to listen!

(Apologies again for the red eye and poor quality photos, I got a new camera yesterday and hope this will improve things in the future!)

This has some great singing in it:
 

 

 

 

Not so Little Drummer Boy

Jonah is really getting into his drumming.

 

Below is a video of his solo performance at a Christmas concert that his drum teacher organised.

Last weekend he also played in the Kidlington  Music Centre Christmas Concert, where he performed with a Jazz band, Senior Wind Band and Senior Orchestra. He has to get up early on Saturday mornings to rehearse, which is quite a struggle!

He's also passed the audition to play in the morning services at our church, and plays in the church Pathfinders (11-14 year olds) Worship band.
