Melissa Thomson came to visit us this week on work experience from Perthshire.
My name is Melissa, I go to the community school of Auchterarder. I travelled 660 miles this week from Auchterarder. I play the cornet, piano and drums.
I found out about Drake Music Scotland through my Auntie who said that my Cousin has got a friend that goes here who is Chris Jacquin. I came here because want to do music when I leave school. I mostly enjoyed listening and sometimes playing in the music session led by Lesley. I also liked playing around with logic in the Accredited Music Technology Course.
I also liked doing the Figurenotes task and helping out with the Junior Digital Orchestra
Here’s what I did this week:
