Medieval music filled the air around a school in North Yorkshire as children learned about music from the past.

Youngsters from York's Minster School tried their hands at a number of strange-sounding instruments, including, crum horns, racketts and harps, in preparation for a presentation next month.

The children also had a go at singing traditional music during their medieval music-making session.

Their presentation will form part of the launch of a publication on early music.

The event has been organised by the National Centre for Early Music, which is based in Walmgate, York.
