On Thursday 11th April, our P.6 pupils were treated to an amazing Jazz workshop led by jazz duo Maya Goldblum and Jack Kelly. Maya Goldblum is a young singer songwriter from Sandpoint Idaho who has been living and playing music in Derry for the past two years. Jack Kelly is bass player.
The aim of the workshop was to introduce the children to jazz with a view to encouraging the children to attend live events during Derry’s jazz Festival. Seeing the live performance by the duo was incredible. Maya and Jack talked to the children about the art form and about improvisation as the children sat cross- legged in the small hall in our school. What a nice way to spend the afternoon!
