This week, pupils in year 2 greatly enjoyed a workshop from the BBC called ‘Connecting the Dots’ in which they met the trumpeter David McCallum of the BBC Concert Orchestra. David talked through the different types of trumpet that he has played.
He entertained us by performing famous trumpet tunes from Star Wars, Strictly Come Dancing and Coronation Street. Pupils asked great questions and learnt facts about his life as a professional musician.
We have a brass teacher here at Sydenham High Prep so if any pupils have been inspired and would like to start lessons, please do get in touch!
