Last week’s Loi Krathong festivities provided some wonderful opportunities for our students to learn about and perform traditional Thai music.
Last week Year 4G and H, along with Ichiha and Olivia from 4J, performed the Loi Krathong song on a variety of traditional and not so traditional instruments. Year 4 have been learning all about Thai pentatonic music and this song is a great example of this. They did a wonderful job of performing their different parts, following a conductor and listening to each other as an ensemble. Well done Year 4.
You can enjoy a taster of their performance below.
The St Andrews International School Bangkok assembly got off to a truly traditional start with a performance by STA Thai Music Band. It was wonderful to hear one the newest musical ECAs perform in assembly for the first time and they sounded absolutely brilliant. Well done to those children and their teachers for all their hard work.
