can provide/do a bit of tuition on

big recorders
flute
violin

can lend, but not much good at playing

clarinet

I have a saxophone in the house....

Ta da! What size?

Me too! Any chance of you making Stalybridge (23 July)?

How would I know it - I am a MNW!

Form and cheque will be in the post to sbhoa today

Is it this size?

in which case it is an Alto

or this size?
(Soprano)

or (unlikely..)
(Baritone I think)


*smug* - my pictures worked!!

Baritone it is, SueHM

I've only got a clari and treble recorder that I could bring but would be willing to have a go at any instrument

Well it's not the middle one but those gentlemen may be vertically challenged so I'm still unsure! I think it's Alto!

Hello scotliz, I haven't been on the forum for a while now - what with Easter and all those Bank Holidays and children around my feet! - however sadly I can't make 4 June as my eldest son is taking part in the London Youth Games that day. So it'll be a breezy day by the river for me. Hope the event goes well for you!

Lol. I've got a little recorder.

If you can play a little recorder, you can play a big recorder....

Erm, "I've got one" doesn't equal "I know how to play it". Lol. I suppose I could learn a few notes by Stalybridge as I do have a tutor book floating around somewhere. whoops wrong instrument.

I now know that the left-hand is supposed to be at the top of the recorder and I can play "B".

Excellent. Add one new note a day and you’ll be sorted by the time you get to Gloucester!!

Sorry you can't make it Klavierkat - it would have been nice to see you again.

It looks like there will be 13 - 15 playing at the concert so may be room for folk who would like to perform another piece. Can you let me know asap if you would like to perform something else and how long it lasts.
I will ensure any more information about the day is available next weekend.

How long will our 'new orchestra' piece last - SueHM and Katyjay?

So far attendees are:

Christopher O
Katyjay
Daisychain
Blackbird 77
Pianonotes
Devonclari
Gedall40
SueHM
Helen
Scotliz and duet partner
Lois and mum Lois
+ two local folk

I will be doing a duet as will Gedall40 and Devonclari. There could potentially be a duet from team Lois.

Looking forward to seeing you at the concert.

Looking forward to it scotliz
If you like we could also do Stranger again
- see what you think when we get together?

I'll have a practice!

Would be grateful if I could have the music for accompanying asap please. With only a couple of weeks to go, I want to give it my best shot. Thank you.


All's well. Music received. Thank you.

I would like to do 2 pieces but only if there's time please. They're both short.

H

Have just signed up for this exciting event. I'm relatively new to the forum & am looking forward to meeting other members.
I'll be playing 2 pieces by Hamilton Harty on the oboe - see you soon!

That's excellent
- I don't think I have been to an event with an oboist
- very much looking forward to seeing you there
Chris

Thanks - will do my best to be a good ambassador for the oboe!

If the offer is still available, Scotliz, could I have another 2 minutes to play a flute solo piece please? No accompaniment needed. It is "Circus Flute" by Alan Bullard and one or two people who are coming might know why I want to play it .

(It has nothing to do with my forthcoming Grade 7 exam!)

Oh all right then, yes, I want to play it in front of people to get the experience and find the bits that need more practice before the examiner hears it

That's fine - there's space in the programme - just been doing a draft of the programme this evening so I will go and add your piece to that.

Thank you - I will tell my teacher that my study piece will get a performance as well as the Poulenc.

What with playing my list A piece (Mozart) at Birmingham last year, and the sight reading of the "new orchestra" piece, it is turning into a mock exam for me . It only needs some people to call out a few scales at random to complete the practical tests

No, No, I am joking, honestly

The saying is 'Take Care What You Wish For' - you could end up do a full impromptu exam !!!!

Are we going out for a meal after the concert?

Well I am if you care to join me .

I am quite happy to organise a post concert meal. Can you let me know if you would like to attend asap.

Yes please

Yes please. Thank you.

Yes, provided it's somewhere that caters for vegetarians - so no meat or fish! or hot spicy food either.
Thanks for all your efforts

Yes, please. Thanks.

Sorry I wouldn't be able to attend the meal but hope you have a great time.

How about some Tapas?
http://www.sebz.co.uk/page2.html

Whatever you organise will be fine by me, thank you .

Looks good - there's lots of choice

My husband did joke that for my second piece I should play 36 scales!



Yes please, me plus hubby!

I have booked the restaurant for 17.15 on Saturday.

So far I have on the list:

Pianonotes
Daisychain
Katyjay
Gedall40
Hardying
Express Yourself + 1
Scotliz

+ 3 non forum folk.

Can you let me know by Wednesday evening if you would like to attend the post concert meal.

I have sent everyone an email with my contact phone number for Saturday.

Please do PM or email me if you need any more information.

Tapas sound great, look great, smell great, taste great and feel great.

Like the sound of all this: lunch at 1.00 probably, then afternoon tea, then supper at 5.15 and probably something else to eat at my friends' later in the evening. Roll on Saturday.

Am at scotliz' house ready for the off! Looking forward to a good day!

DaisyChain xx

Hope you all have a great day.

Sorry I'm going to miss this - my car broke down on the M4 on the way

Hope you have a good time.

You poor thing! Have a good day everyone. I'll be thinking of your poor ears!

Oh poor katyjay

Hope the rest of you are having a good day
