Ethan's Portable Dessert


Strike Festival of Colour

We have a load of fun with strike this morning. All of us had a turn on our own drum and learnt some amazing rhythms.

Adam Page with Ethan's name in hand!


Adam Page

Adam performed at school today as part of the Festival of Colour. He is a multi-instrumentalist. He showed the children how he used the looping pedal to record layers of sound.



He showed us how to make our mouths sound like drums.






You have to get your breathing right to beat box. You need lots of air.
Try boots and cats at home!



This is the tenor saxophone he played for us.


This is the melodica. He had to blow air through it to make it go. It's a cross between a piano and a harmonica. He played the flute for us.
The layers of music are now starting to sound amazing as I type this.

Soprano, alto, tenor and baritone sounds make up his band. One of the pedal is an octave pedal so he can use his electric guitar as a bass.






He can even make music with his beard.



Music is everywhere. He made music with Ethan's name-awesome!
