Week 28th January 2011

Everyone played very well this week, well done to Elliot Carr for working through the third piece from the Grade 3 book. A warm welcome to Izzy Morris who had her first lesson with me this week and shows great promise.

I introduced some of our more advanced students to some latin grooves (Samba and a Songo) which can be found below.

Enjoy ...


The second one is a Mozambique Samba, which can be heard on Paul Simon's 'Late in the Evening' here
