We continue to learn about the significance of Baghdad and the surrounding region through our theme this term.  This week we explored further the geographical aspects of trade along the famous Silk Road.

Have a look at our first class sing-through of the piece we have been working on in music this term, Benjamin Britten’s “Carol for the New Year”.  Over the next week or two, we will develop techniques to do with pitch, dynamics and phrasing and see how our performance progresses.
