Concert!!! This Friday, 7pm at the Wesley Centre my students will be twinkling for an audience and the MetroNomes will offer the audience some show stoppers!
The first group practice for my twinklers was wonderful. Who knew my students were shy?? NOT I! First opportunity for them to meet others learning at similar age and stage which I know is a little intimidating... but I think they had a good time :)
We concluded with a shared afternoon tea (food always helps) and the parents had a good chance to talk to each other. Friday will be fun!
After the Tempo concert I think it's time for them to do some solo performances - for their class and school at this stage. Who knows where that will lead?

MetroNomes & More
August is upon us and spring is certainly in the air. The daffodils under the orange tree have decided it's warm enough to pop their heads out and give us a sunny smile.
The MetroNomes (Tempo band) are on the final run down to the Tempo concert in a couple of weeks. Just a few more rehearsals and we will blow socks off with a very cool version of Gershwin's Summertime and a slightly more edgy Phantom of the Opera.
Still yet to pin down a male singer for Phantom, but know we will get there :)
At the same concert my students are performing as an ensemble. Twinkling Strings will be Twinkling the night away (well...a few minutes anyway). Just concluding the 'rehearsal schedule' - the plan of when we will put it all together. They will be amazing!
My other focus is talking to preschools about performing. A few initial steps have been made, but tomorrow will be the day I head out to different centres and drop off information with the invitation of a performance over the next few weeks. I have got the 1/16 ready to go, a few toys and armed with stickers. Should be fun!
Off to prepare for an afternoon of teaching :)
