Well I think this goes here: I have an interview for a Music Instructor job in a secondary school here. It's a momentous occasion, there are not many posts of this nature, and I can't believe I have got so far. I'm not expecting to get it, but it gets the name out there....eeeeeeeeeek! I need to revise GCSE and A LEVEL requirements.

Anyone got any good resources on the net for me??? I have a week!!

Maybe we should have a poll to see how many people are playing this in their ensembles this year! I think louise1712 mentioned they were playing it ( unsure.gif ), we've just played an arrangement of it in our summer concert and I'm also playing it at the Liverpool Phil Playday next month. laugh.gif

(edit: I've just realised that you are probably playing this on piano rather than with an ensemble so maybe need to widen the poll to playing it full stop, whether in ensemble or not!)

Today decided to go for a walk round the grounds at work (it's a campus site in a rural location). Lovely day - walked by the stream, past the large pond/small lake, and sat on a bench in a clearing amongst some woodland. Birds singing.
