| Sarah Deters, Edinburgh University Musical Instrument Museum |
We cannot thank Sarah Deters from Edinburgh University's Museum of
Musical Instruments enough! Sarah, a primary school teacher in America
and now head of Outreach for the Museum, had such a lovely manner with
the children when she provided an amazing six workshops this week - all
three Primary Five classes on Tuesday and all three Primary Four classes
on Wednesday - about the history of musical instruments. She gave a
fantastic presentation and allowed the children to get involved in
playing the many reproduction instruments she brought with her into
school. And this followed a superb special visit that she led for our
School Orchestra on Monday! Thank you, Sarah!

P4 Class Page. (Thank you, Mrs Johnson!)
Mrs
Maguire's class wrote about the Music Workshops in their Reflection
Diaries and it was obvious what a hugely positive impact the workshops,
and the presentation from Edinburgh University Music Society on Wednesday, had on the
children. May's writing in P5B was particularly moving, about how Music
made her drift away in her own world and think about all the best things
in life. Thank you to everyone who contributed to a lovely week of
Music at Sciennes!
