VWULLA VIOLA


This past weekend, S went with his Dad to a Viola Bonanza. He had a great time, listening to the chinese violinS there are 2 - one has millions of strings the other has 3 strings. There were 5 instruments on display and one really weird bow. He learnt to play D string then D3 then A then D - a new little ditty. Mister Lord of the Rings was there, he created all the music for the movies! So they got to hear 'hobbit' music and 'ork coming' music - when they are in the swamp an Orc comes on a dragon. The lady who was helping Mister Lord of the Rings was working with had a really big harp, it sounded really lovely and peaceful - it sounded like fairies coming down trying to put us to sleep. He played in a concert, they played Twinkle Little Star and May Song - there were also Cellos and Violins. Since then his playing and confidence has really improved and he is making a much more rich and beautiful sound!
