Re: Community Challenge Concert! (Preparing for a concert!)
@Sindre Skarelven Thanks Sindre. I called the Box Office rather than booking online. I mentioned the surgery and asked if it was at all possible to sit in the disabled section on the keyboard side at…

Re: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!
@Anne Could well be, it makes sense. I apply this to my job. I am a surveyor, often dealing with property law matters so process is all important: due diligence and all that!

Re: Bass Clef Reading
I forgot to say that I had the following method with beginner flute students. It must be similar for the violin. The hardest problem to begin with is holding the wretched thing - under your chin in…

Re: Bass Clef Reading
The 'transposition' is probably what everyone does as a starting point. Piano pupils learn the treble clef first and then the bass clef, may be some weeks later, depending on the age of the pupil.…

Re: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!
@Anne Thanks Anne. I am a process person. It's called teleology in philosophy, which put crudely is akin to engineering, i.e., work out your aim and then plot out how to arrive there!

Re: Community Challenge Concert! (Preparing for a concert!)
There's an 'h' in 'hour'! Although, I'm a 'Northerner' in the UK so haitches are optional - sometimes there are none and then sometimes they're like machine gun-fire!

Re: What was the last piece of music that inspired you?
Nina Simone - 'Wild is the Wind'. Someone on the internet has written out exactly every note she played. Amazing - but it's probably using a piece of software - who cares!…

Re: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!
I have omitted to include the minor scales - similar, contrary and thirds, and minor arpeggios. The majors and minors at 6 per week mean that the whole series rotates each month.

@martin I like that idea Martin. The entries are full by now but I would rather be able to practise any exercises so that Claire has something to work with, so next time would be great!
