Once a week Ella and Flynn attend an unusual music session called "Noise Labs" where they meet up with friends and listen to, sing, and dance to works from both the classical repertoire and various kinds of popular music from film, theatre and so on. The performances are held in a local pre-school where accommodation is hired for the session and the three musicians include a singer (who also plays the French horn), a trumpeter who, on the two occasions we have attended carried a young baby in a sling in front of him, and a guitarist. They are accomplished musicians and the children we've found alert, interested, and energetic.
Here's Ella wearing a pink tutu!
Ella and Flynn lie motionless on the floor listening to the hauntingly beautiful and dreamy slow (largo) movement of Dvorak's 9th Symphony (From the New World) played on the French horn - as if asleep.
Here they are preparing for a dance routine with little coloured nets held in their hands. Notice that Flynn, keeping up with big sister, is wearing a black tutu - which he wore most of the day without any sign of embarrassment!
And after the Noise Lab comes free play outside in the pre-school's grounds
