I am on my 15 minute break between piano students so rather than do anything really productive like my assignment (because let’s face it takes me 15 minutes to get all my books and papers out and organised) I thought I might write a little blog post. What about? Well, we shall see. For what […]

Something to savour on Sunday morning May 28, 2011

Well good morning Sunday. I have finally dragged myself out of bed and now sit at my computer drinking my green vanilla tea in a most civilised manner while I contemplate my sinus-aching face, headache and all round general snottiness. I have also begun to cough. I believe this to be a good sign because […]

the end of a little era May 9, 2011

The Bundaberg Music Eisteddfod is over for another year. I spent the weekend sleeping in a bid to recover from a hectic week.

Needless to say I am not particularly looking […]

To my shame, despite actually studying classical piano at university some years ago, I had not engaged with Gould’s recordings much before. I was aware of his star power, the legends of his Bach recordings, but apart […]

sadly, no chorus or jazz hands April 4, 2011

My tasks at work included some mild procrastinating, emails,marking, making a powerpoint slide, fixing a presentation for yesterday evening, giving a presentation yesterday […]
