Last Violin Lesson

Today was the last Cygnets String Orchestra practice session and Violin Lesson of the academic year, and Mrs P decided it would be a good idea to combine the 10:00 and 10:30 classes into a single session. So there were 7 in Little Miss' lesson today. They played their way through their Fiddle Time Joggers book together.

It was an impressive sound; they have learnt a lot since September.

Then each of them got to play a solo to everyone else. When it was J's turn, he announced he would play "Down Up E String" with his eyes closed. Cue some tiptoeing round the room from the girls to all stand in front of him and check he wasn't looking!

They then finished by all playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" together and taking a bow to the assembled Mums and Dads.

Great fun - you can find more pictures of the lesson here on Flickr. So violin lessons are over now until September, but next week they'll all be performing in the Cygnets in the Shoppers Prom in the Corn Exchange from 10Am to midday. Do drop in if you want some morning entertainment.
