What's New

I just had a really interesting discussion during a lesson about the immediacy of the moment and how every morning one gets a fresh start to life. It's fascinating how it's resounding through my day, it started with my statement that every time I play a piece of music, I want it to feel like the first time I have ever played it, that it's important it sounds magical and new and never as if I have played it three thousand times before.

Hello Everyone!

Well, it's just a short while until Reuben and I leave and it's very strange thinking about not teaching wonderful kids in our tiny Upper West Side apartment once we're gone!

One of the most amazing aspects of my Upper West Side teaching studio has been the incredible families drawn to it. I enjoy our recitals so much because of the warm, friendly adult interaction and of course, the lovely children. I'm going to miss all of you very much and you all have a standing invitation to come and visit us in Cornwall once we're settled!

As this is my last recital with the kids, I'd like to suggest that the children have the option of performing any piece they choose - it could be a piece they have performed before or the piece they are currently working on. If they choose a 'previous' piece, we will be working on that piece for recital as well as the current piece.

It would be absolutely wonderful if you could write a short paragraph for my testimonials page on my website.

Having the privilege of teaching your children has been an incredible one and it's very hard to leave. I do hope you manage to get to Cornwall to visit us. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 23rd.
