SC&T Youth Tutoring – Scots Song at St Peter’s School

Well that was a fun week for the SC&T Youth tutors at St Peter’s Primary School in Aberdeen!

P4, 5 and 6 pupils learned clasarch, guitar, whistle, and Scots song every morning, with a concert on Friday where they were able to show off the tunes and songs they’d learned to the rest of the school and their teachers. P4 and 5 instruments would accompany the P6 singers, for example. 

Here’s a photo of P6 enjoying a video of Joe Aitken singing the Barnyards of Delgaty – they were all singing along within a couple of choruses! I was especially impressed with their pronunciation of all the Doric words which were new to almost all the pupils.

One of the P6 girls drew this amazing portrait of me! – I love it when pupils do that! There are some amazing details in there – I’m particularly loving the duck earrings!

I’m really looking forward to next week when we’ll be sharing songs and tunes with the pupils of Riverbank Primary School.
