A lot of things have been happening down in Devon recently – and especially for Exeter Young Strings. As well as getting those grants I talked about in my last blog they now have a lovely new website at www.exeteryoungstrings.org.
Do go and have a look, and see what they do.
BTW If you are a young aspiring cello, viola, violin or bass player in the Exeter area, then you could do no better then join!
Well, a happy new academic year in the UK. After a much needed break taken with the family in Wales, I’m back at the coal face of teaching and feel like life is hitting me at 200 mph already!
The new edition of the Cellobabies book is ready to roll off the press and should be available in the next couple of weeks and I’m knuckling down to complete the violin version as soon as possible. I’ve been really encouraged by the marked upturn of interest in the method since the beginning of summer.
I notched up another birthday in August (21 again!). My husband made me a lovely cello bow which is just great to handle, It made its debut in 3 concerts at the Greenbelt festival (Cheltenham) at the end of the month. My better half is working on a cello for me, which is at the stage of having the purfling put into the belly and back sections. I certainly am a lucky old bird.
