The ELC is very lucky to have received a pianola on
permanent loan from the family of old scholar Harry Milton Southwood. Music is
a wonderful way to explore our senses and express ourselves and many children
have taken the opportunity to have an enthusiastic plonk on the ivories since
the pianolas arrival. The stool has also now arrived which means there is a
lovely place to sit if you would like to sit and play a tune.
Please take the
opportunity to tinkle something tuneful if you have a spare moment. The
children understand that when the pianola lid is up they are allowed to play,
please don’t close the lid if it is up. The lid will be down during 1.00 and
2.00pm everyday so that Cooper room students can sleep in peace!
If your child
has a grandparent that plays please let them know as they may like to share a
song with us on Grandies day. Thankyou to Harry’s daughter Janice for the kind
gift, we hope Harry would be thrilled to know that his pianola is loved by a
new generation.
