Today we welcomed
Dorothy Conaghan from
Learn and Explore at the
National Concert Hall, Dublin. Dorothy is a highly regarded string teacher and has travelled widely both in the States and Europe researching group teaching on behalf of the Arts Council and giving workshops and classes herself. It was great to have her expert input so early in our programme. She brought some great new tunes and rhythms . We played lots of games and I really enjoyed playing some duets for you all with our visitor . In the afternoon, the band played
Santa Lucia,
Somewhere Over the Rainbow and
Marines Hymn
