Die tuba is dalk die grootste instrument in die koperblaas-familie en die een met die laagste toonhoogte, maar dit het Tamika Viljoen nie afgeskrik om di\u00e9 instrument op te neem nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is \u2019n tweede alt in die koor, wat beteken dat ek baie laag kan sing,\u201d verduidelik Tamika, \u2019n graad 8-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool Bloemhof. \u201cDie diep klank van die tuba was dus iets waarmee ek my kon vereenselwig.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tamika is die eerste Bloemhoffer in die skool se geskiedenis wat as musiekleerder by die skool lesse in di\u00e9 instrument kry. \u201cDis nie so moeilik om te leer speel nie, maar ek dink dit intimideer mense omdat dit so groot is,\u201d lag sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dalene Bosman, hoof van musiek by Bloemhof, is baie opgewonde oor Tamika se besluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBloemhof se koperblaasafdeling het die afgelope vyf jaar geweldig gegroei en die toevoeging van die tuba beteken dat alle koperblaasinstrumente nou deur die musiekdepartement gedek word. Verskeie musiekonderwysers \u2013 almal spesialiste in hul instrument \u2013 deel ons entoesiasme om die koperblaasafdeling uit te brei,\u201d s\u00ea Bosman. \u201cOns is veral opgewonde oor die feit dat daar nou vir die eerste keer by Bloemhof tuba aangebied en gespeel word.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
