Mostly Musical Musings: Singing proudly
http://bossyranga.blogspot.com/2014/09/singing-proudly.html
Friday, 12 September 2014. I am lucky enough to work quite closely with the good people of the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Sometimes they send a quartet out to a school, and I run a facilitated concert with these wonderful players, teaching children about different ways to play stringed instruments, or about concepts like 'ostinato', or 'ground bass'. But this week, we did something different. Would they actually be able to do this, or would the wheels fall off? I can help you! The day of the concert c...

Mostly Musical Musings: January 2014
http://bossyranga.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 26 January 2014. Different types of musicians. Last night, I went to have dinner with some friends of mine. Both professional musicians, both in their fifties. Unlike so many other musicians I know, they are both still really engaged with. We have found this piece of music! It's just wonderful. We'll play it to you the best we can - and hopefully you'll think it's really wonderful too. Have a listen." There is a real ego-less way of being and playing. Listen to how I play this! I really believe t...

Mostly Musical Musings: June 2015

Monday, 8 June 2015. Reflections on the last four weeks. I've had an. umm. interesting. I have learned a lot over those four weeks. I think a lot of people would call the last month 'character building'. I don't really want any more character. I think I have enough character already, thank you very much. This is what I've learned. in no particular order. 1 There are more children sent to school without breakfast than one would think. 3 People don't like to be told they have made a mistake.

Mostly Musical Musings: February 2014
http://bossyranga.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 19 February 2014. For those of you who don't know, I spend two days a week teaching children in disadvantaged schools. These are my favourite days of the working week, actually. They are the most exhausting. I come home completely drained - I feel a bit like a wrung-out flannel. But I absolutely love guiding these kids through their music lessons. And who would have thought? Won't respond to that sort of teaching'. Roll on next week. I shall include semiquavers! Wednesday, 5 February 2014.

Mostly Musical Musings: November 2014
http://bossyranga.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 3 November 2014. I don't watch a lot of TED talks - but there is one that I really like. It is called 'Every Child Needs A Champion', and I find it really inspiring. It was made by a wonderful teacher who has now left this world called Rita Piearson. It is here, if you want to watch it. Every child needs a champion. I watch this often, and it reminds me of why I do what I do. Should I give her a go? So I got shouted at, and told that I was doing the wrong thing some more. I trod on toes, and ...

Thursday, 26 February 2015. I was sent to instrumental lessons as a young girl to some very good teachers. They taught me some really good things - but they never taught me specifically how. To practise, and get some very experienced teachers to try and change their teaching habits a bit. And today, I've had another conversation with someone about how to teach someone to practise. So why don't more instrumental teachers teach their students to practise properly? Friday, 6 February 2015. I have had to do ...

Mostly Musical Musings: March 2014
http://bossyranga.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 March 2014. I teach at a school on a Monday where self-esteem is pretty thin on the ground. I see this a fair bit, especially with young girls. When girls hit about ten or eleven, it seems that when the hormones kick-in, self-esteem recedes like a wave leaving the shore. They start to criticise everything and everyone around them - but most damagingly, themselves. At some point, everyone needs someone to say 'Hey! You do this really well! I like what you do! As you finish reading this (if an...
