Sirocco Winds offer a wide range of music workshops and concerts to schools in Scotland and beyond. In our workshops we offer a fun introduction to the wind quintet, playing lots of music to get your pupils singing and dancing. We also offer the unique opportunity to get your pupils composing!
Through the use of Kodaly stick notation for rhythms and brightly coloured circles to represent notes, making music with Sirocco Winds is both easy and fun! With our packages carefully tailored for each age group to meet many of the Expressive Arts Experiences and Outcomes as part of the Curriculum for Excellence this would be a perfect experience for the whole school to enjoy.
