Classical Champions

July 06, 2012
Pupils from the Hearing Impaired Unit have once again been involved in a project with the London Symphony Orchestra this time focusing on the Olympic Games. The children created a rhythmic Champions March using drums and chime bars. With Paul accompanying on the trombone, children marched proudly around the imaginary arena. This was followed by a section where eight 'champions' had musical conversations with Paul and with Liz on the violin. Medals were awarded to the Highest, Lowest, Loudest, Softest, Longest, Shortest, Fastest and Slowest. Pupils performed to class 3RG who were involved in a further workshop to develop the piece of music.

All of the children involved have had a very rewarding time working with the virtuoso musicians; there has been a lot of laughter as well as a great deal of concentration. This was Hacton's fourth project with the LSO and we can’t wait for the next!
