| me…playing the piano | October 13, 2011 | It’s been a little while since my last post (she writes as she hangs her head in shame). I’d like to say I’d been on a lovely, relaxing holiday travelling here, there and everywhere without a care in the world. Not so, my friends, not so. I’ve been finishing off the teaching term here at […] |
| Thoughts on Mrs Carey’s Concert | September 23, 2011 | On Monday evening I sat down to watch Mrs Carey’s Concert, the documentary by Bob Connolly and Sophie Raymond. It followed the “trials and tribulations’ of Mrs Carey – music teacher at a Sydney girls’ school – over two years as she prepared her school’s musicians for a concert at the Opera House. Yes, that’s […] |
| we’ve only just begun | July 4, 2011 | This afternoon at 4:30 was the first singing gathering at CQU Bundaberg. I had been immensely inspired by the power of music while at the Happiness conference a few weeks ago and finally decided it was time for me to get off my behind and do something with an idea I had been storing up […] |
| the latter | July 2, 2011 | This is my first Sunday with no commitments of any kind for many many moons.

All those things are good (well except perhaps for the marking) but it’s lovely to wake up with absolutely nothing to […] |

| feeling guilty | June 23, 2011 | It’s Thursday afternoon and I am sitting at work feeling guilty because I haven’t posted to my dear blog for some time. It’s not because nothing has been happening. On the contrary lots has been going on. I just haven’t had time to process it properly, let alone write and reflect about it. But here […] |

| 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. For the last 10 years I have taken on the official position of “music coordinator” on the Eisteddfod committee. This year I decided that I had done enough and finally made the […] |
