Larks Ensemble practice 25 January

Hello Larks,

This week, we introduced a new warm-up piece for this term's ensemble rehearsals. It is a beautiful song called Banuwa. Can you ask a grown-up to help you find out where in the world it comes from? You will hear lots of slightly different versions recorded on the internet because it is a folk music, which people teach to each other by ear, without writing songs down. This means that they often change a bit when someone passes them on - it's a bit like a game of Chinese Whispers!

Sword Dance

Please could you practise playing Sword Dance up to letter A this week? If you would like to look at the next section too, please do! You should have the sheet music but do ask if you need another copy.

Happy practising!

Sarah
