RPO Masterclass - March 2008

 

On March 1st 2008 we were delighted to be able to welcome some members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - yes the RPO! - to KMPAC. They held a special masterclass for us in the hall. We did things that morning we have never done before - some fantastic rhythm patterns, some percussion work, and some quite amazing tunes, made up of only two notes! A truly great morning, and our thanks go to all of them for giving up their time to be with us at KMPAC. Here are just a few pictures of the session in action....

First of all we "limber up" with some special "finger tapping" exercises

Half of us clapping and half tapping

A quick burst on a trombone for good measure

Get ready for yet a another new rhythm

With our instruments now - we try the "two note" tune

Violins concentrating on their notes,

ably assisted by the cellos with theirs

Bur how can you get two notes out of a triangle? Lots of concentration from the strings

It looks like we need that particular note to be a little higher....
