What a treat!!!
Greg Askins, the renowned classical guitarist, dropped in to share his talent with the children last Thursday. He was in TCI on holiday but still found time to come to school to talk and play to grades 3 – 6. It was fascinating to hear him speak about his career as a soloist and as part of the duo Nylon Wound. Best of all,though, was listening to him playing the guitar. He played several pieces; explaining about their composers and the historical context.

Thank you so much Greg, your playing was absolutely fantastic and I could have listened to you all night! I know that the children were mesmerized by your performance and gained so much from the experience.
Thanks also to Amanda Tauware for initiating this event.
