17.6.16 National Youth Jazz Orchestra Educational Visit

In year 6 we always seek to provide a range of experiences to broaden our wider understanding of the world.  Today, as part of our music learning,  we were very lucky to have the opportunity to visit the Colston Hall (a very important and historic Bristol building) to watch a performance by the National Jazz Orchestra.  Not only did we have a unique chance to experience professional music; but the band leader provided us with a huge range of knowledge - ranging from how the music is arranged to the names and sounds of the specific instruments.  As well acquiring knowledge key to the national curriculum, we had a brilliant time!
