Our beautiful STUDIO 49 instruments, on their trolleys. awaited our group as they arrived this morning so the warm up movements, to Ladysmith Black Mambaso, were kept suitably brief.
Playful delight and excitement at realising it’s impossible to make an ugly sound on these instruments, gave way to intense concentration as everyone focused on mastering the ‘left right left’ patterns as we went up and down scales to various rhythms.
Everything came easier, as it does, after the coffee break and Jakob took good pictures.
We ended by learning the chorus and singing with great gusto, ‘Boomfalera’ from the Orff volume 1, the instrumental parts for which we’ll begin working on next week.
I’ll be having a relaxing evening with an in-house concert watching my DVD of Gordon & John’s Glasgow Philharmonic Male Voice Choir.
Wishing all a good week,
Cheers Moira
