My beautiful girl ♥️

From my new piece “Ecology of the Soul”. Very proud of this one and can’t wait to hear it premiered in June!

"Not Now, Not Ever!" (Gillard Misogyny Speech) YouTube video by AustralianVoices

Last night I attended an extraordinary concert to close the Orange Chamber Music Festival. Composer Robert Davidson finds the melody in speech and uses that as the source for this composition. This choral version of the misogyny speech is a must watch. Happy IWD!

So… concert G major in a Grade 4.5 work. Doable? Please share your thoughts. Am aware of tuning issues that will arise due to unfamiliarity…
(Cute pic of my dog to get your attention 😁).

Sounds fantastic!

Breakfast with the pooch ☺️

Fantastic!

Thank you for sharing Tom and thank you for giving the invaluable time of you and your students to the preparation and performance of “Enchantment”. ♥️

Salon Morisot: Full Suite — Jodie Blackshaw | Composer Duration: 9 minutes Grade: 2

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Shelley Schwaderer Roland. Writing “Salon Morisot” to celebrate her contribution to Clarkson schools was such a special experience.

Rest in peace beautiful soul. The world feels a little duller today without you ♥️

Wish me luck. Trying a new hairdresser today… I might come out looking like a scarecrow, but at least my hair doesn’t look like this anymore! (Me at 16…🤭).

Today my darling Dad would have been 90 years old. I have now lived more than half my life without him by my side, but his words, love, wit and wisdom still carry me each and every day. Happy birthday Dad!

Beautiful!

Do you ever incorporate any movement activities to warm up their brains before they have an instrument in their hands? It works wonders for connection, aural skill development, listening-based analysis and self-confidence ☺️

I’m not sure she’s comfortable enough…!

Oh I’ve been waiting for the release date in Australia!

You too Joni. Going to take me a little while to get used to this platform!
