Mrs McEvoy’’s and Miss Reel’s Primary 4 class: Inspiring young Musicians 🎻

1st Jun 2026

The children had a truly wonderful time learning to play these beautifully intricate and highly technical string instruments. Throughput the experience, their enthusiasm and confidence grew as they explored new skills in such an engaging and supporting environment. 

A very special mention must go to their teachers, Claire and Kristian, whose dedication and expertise made all the difference. They were not only incredibly knowledgable, but also patient, encouraging and full of energy. Their ability to break down complex techniques into clear, easy to understand steps ensured that every child felt included and capable, regardless of their starting point. 

Claire and Kristian created a fun and inspiring atmosphere where curiosity was welcomed and mistakes were seen as part of the learning journey. The children responded brilliantly to their guidance and it was clear to see how much joy they gained from both the music and the experience as a whole. 

It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to develop not only their musical abilities, but also their confidence, focus and love for learning. A truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
