Flautissimo and Piccolissimo have been busy recording videos and I forgot to update! We don't have a lot of technological wizardary or knowledge between us and the learning curve is a steep one, but some of us have embraced the learning and are giving it all a jolly good go!

I am finding that pupils are highly motivated, have extra time to practice and are really enjoying their weekly music lessons. I'm uploading videos, extra files and tips onto my Facebook pupil page and emailing out mp3 recordings of duet parts and accompaniments for pupils to enjoy playing along with at home - it's great to see the pupils grab a second device and show me how they can play along with my recording, they are always very proud (and so am I). Sadly, of course, the Coronavirus Pandemic has meant all live meetings and performances have been cancelled or postponed, so I have no shows to perform in, really for the foreseeable future. Of course, I'll keep th...
