Music and Well-being with Gerry McCabe - Native American Flute in Year 7
For Gerry’s final visit to HCB in term 3, he gave the Primary 7 classes a fascinating introduction to the Native American traditions this week, sharing insights into their music and instruments. Gerry demonstrated the Native American flute and drum, capturing the boys’ full attention.
The boys listened to this mystical sound that for hundreds of years has been used to help us relax and unwind.
Thank you, Gerry, for the super visits to all the classes and providing our pupils with a wonderful experience.
