Setting the Tone

How does music make you feel or have you ever thought about how music can impact the tone of your day? Primary School had the opportunity last Friday, with much laughter and frivolity, to consider how evocative music can be - is what you are listening to stress invoking or distracting? Musica Viva’s Timmy and the Breakfast Band used pantomime and acrobatics accompanied by the harmonica, cello, banjo and at times, the saw (!), to explore how a nine year old boy’s morning and feelings can be reflected in the music the students were listening to. The students were in stitches as Timmy put his pants on backwards, had strange dreams and juggled while eating breakfast!!
