UpRiver

The week after G-3 and I went to the library for the High Tea Party, we went back to listen to Irish Music by UPRiver

Ms. Holly Van Camp was now dressed in a green tee shirt with the caption of Life is Great, Reading Makes It Better which was a little more casual then the formal white lace and brocade that adorned her the previous week. The enthusiastic crowd was young, and the activity room was filled.

 

We took along some extra friends to hear the Irish Music. Ms. Holly gave out percussion instruments and the crowd played along.
    Besides playing Irish and Celtic music, UpRiver also played traditional children songs that had their roots in Irish and Celtic music. The little ones enjoyed those songs the most.
I was facinated by an instrument I had never seen before. It was an electric fiddle that looked like a piece of modern sculpture that Picasso might have contructed.      

                  Most of the instrument was not there. Part of the program was to teach the youngsteers to identify the instruments, how they sounded and how they were played.

The finale was when the children who wanted could come up and play an instrument.

G-3 said that this was the most interesting and fun part of the program.

For me too!!!!
