Monday, April 29, 2013. An incredible performance of my Jigsaw Jam at the Hexagon in Reading yesterday, involving seventy schools, and 300 young performers. Catherine Millar did an inspirational job of putting the whole thing together for woodwind and brass including mini bassoons and tenoroons. Catherine has an ensemble at Berkshire Maestros of about thirty (very good) bassoons. Hearing them, was a huge high spot for me at last years MFY National Festival. Thank you Music for Youth! Welcome to my blog!

Razzamajazz: June 2012

Saturday, June 30, 2012. Times are changing (for the better! I have very strong memories of people commenting about someone "Oh she plays by ear you know! I accept its preferable to be able to read the music as well, but I dont hanker for my young days when visiting my piano teachers spider plant filled house and smelling the music centre floor polish was enough to fill me with terror.
