I didn’t know you played the violin June 10, 2012

Random people on a number of occasions in the last few days: “I didn’t know you played the violin” Me on the same occasions: “yes I do” Clearly, I’ve been hiding that light under a bushel for the last few years.

It’s the music you see….. June 6, 2012

Today being Wednesday saw the regular afternoon of piano teaching. As usual I raced home from work in time to make the music room tidy enough that people could walk into without tripping over music stands, instrument cases and other bits and pieces. I quickly made my cup of tea and settled in for three […]

Then I raced through the shower, jumped in the car and […]
