This morning, our Year 4 children were treated to an exciting musical assembly delivered by the Travelling by Tuba duo. The session had been designed to engage pupils across the primary age range, and it certainly lived up to expectations. The performers brought a range of unusual wind and brass instruments, many of which the children had never seen before, and filled the hall with captivating stories and laughter.

The assembly took pupils on a musical journey around the world, featuring incredible instruments such as the Chinese dragon‑headed trumpet, the Swiss alpine horn and even giant Tibetan dungs. The children were amazed by the scale and sounds of these instruments and delighted in the humour and energy of the performance. Travelling by Tuba have nearly 30 years of experience entertaining large groups of children.

Year 4 particularly enjoyed the interactive elements, joining in with rhythms, actions and musical challenges. The performance also subtly reinforced learning across subjects including music, history, geography and science, offering a rich cross‑curricular experience. Overall, the children left the hall buzzing with excitement, eager to share their favourite moments from this memorable musical adventure.
