He showed us all the different sections of the orchestra - the string section, the percussion section, the brass section, and he taught us how it was the conductor's job to keep them all playing at the proper volume at the correct time.
He also showed us how instruments could be played at different volumes - piano for softly, and forte for loudly.
We got to use different types of percussion instruments to do a call and response with Shay.
Check out some of the pictures below to see how we got on on the day.
