Sports Day at Presto Strings

All the tracks today are heard at rugby matches

Sports Day Two Anthems






We are half way through our first term . Here is what we did today.
     

1 Shoulder hold.   Putting our violins in rest position we used our left hand on the underneath shoulder to put our violins in play position.
      


2. Balloon Bows to Irelands Call .  We use Down Bow retakes on D for this popular rugby song. we added some flag waving and some tremelo for a bit of added spice .
   
   3. Toreadors March  Another D and A tune . We learned how to read these notes on the stave . The notes are below. Are the notes on lines or spaces?   
     
 4.  Focus on brass . Today we took a closer look at the trumpet. Ms Julie Quinlan director of Waterford City Brass is a former student at our school.. You can read all about the Brass Band and their director  on their website here
