Visit from medieval harp specialist

On Tuesday 29th March our Intermediate 2, Higher and Advanced Higher pupils were given an insight into the music composed for the Medieval harp.  This very informative session was given by Simon Chadwick, a historian specialist in this field.

Throughout the hour Simon played the harp as well as giving a very interesting talk about the background of the instrument.  Concepts required for SQA exams were also integrated into the session enabling revision to be carried out in a very different way.  Our thanks to Sheena Wellington, The friends of Wighton Centre and YMI for funding this event.
