Story

<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">In a moment of sheer brilliance (or madness!), the Music Department at Wycombe High School decided to present the staff with a challenge; to learn a new instrument and pass Grade One exam in six months.&nbsp;Staff are being sponsored to raise money for the &lsquo;Play Your Part&rsquo; campaign. We at WHS are looking to raise &pound;1.5 million in order to build a new Music block, work that is desperately needed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Ok, so choosing viola is a cheat because I used to play the violin BUT THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO and anyway Viola is in Alto Clef. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">So far so good - it seems muscles have memory and&nbsp;i</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">t just goes to prove practise makes permanent. Big thanks to my lovely friend Harriet for loaning a beautiful viola and also to my teacher, Pippa Grundey, one of our Y13 students,&nbsp;for her&nbsp;expert tutelage.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">You can follow our progress, watch videos and find out more at: </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><a href="http://whs.moodledo.co.uk/course/view.php?id=4917">http://whs.moodledo.co.uk/course/view.php?id=4917</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><br></span></p>
