A really really enjoyable playday with Oldnotes - trying out a LOT of new music. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clarinet.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piano.gif)


Hey that's brilliant- I know I don't know you at all, Dawn, but when I went to pick up music from oldnotes he mentioned how he had played a lot with you and that it was a lot of fun. He said that you were both going to try reading the Poulenc Sonata and I told him I thought it was a lovely piece.

Anyway... err... hi! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wave.gif) hi (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Not quite got onto the Poulenc yet but I think we will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Two things have made me happy today-the first was singing (for the last time before our choir director leaves! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) with the sixth-form choir for the Mayor, and the second was attending a lecture from Professor George Alberti about diabetes! Really fascinating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Having a 'taster session' on two instruments, trumpet and violin. Both hard to play, but I definitely want to learn one or the other come September. Now I just have to choose.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Violin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

It's also great for developing a good ear, which would enhance your clari and bassoon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sounds super - hope you enjoy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Whats made me happy today? Firstly, it was our 34th wedding anniversary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Secondly, we've been to the most lovely concert in a local church: Bach Mass in G minor and lots of Telemann, including the German Magnificat, and the concerto for recorder and bassoon. The latter was played by a 14 year old on recorder and a 15 year old bassoonist, and they were fantastic! It's been a really happy day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It was last evening, we (4 part a capella group) sang at a joint concert with a brass quintet. Introduced some new songs which went down very well, I performed "Silent Worship" as a solo, and the finale was "Sing a Song of Sixpence" with the brass ensemble accompanying. The audience loved it and wanted it again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chorale.gif)
