On Thursday, we celebrated Mr Niesyto's acoustic guitarists!
A brilliant variety of music, and opportunity for solo and ensemble performances.
The guitar platform is a concert showcasing what Mr Niesyto’s students have done that term. Most of the students perform a solo of their choice which is often their favourite piece they have done, it starts with the youngest player and progresses through the school years to show how the students develop. I normally do a solo of my most recent grade piece but I sometimes do a song and sing while playing the guitar. I love hearing the pieces that the other students do as there is always a nice variety of songs. After that we move onto the group performances. There are two groups, the first is all students playing and in the second, the more experienced students play in a smaller group. Mr Niesyto always chooses really cool songs for us to play; my favourite piece we have done so far is ‘smells like teen spirit’ by Nirvana because it is a really good song and a fun one to play. The group pieces are my favourite part of the performance because I love playing with the kids from all across the school. I always enjoy the guitar platforms because it is a really fun and supportive environment and the audience always seem to have a good time.
