Here is my “why”. Connecting with students as humans, making music together, shared experiences and developing meaningful relationships. Children flourish with music 🎵

My brave, fabulous child vocalists who have self-assessed music performance anxiety perform today. This is week 8 of data gathering for my PhD research. 7 weeks of group lessons, one performance and 3 draw and tell sessions have been an incredible chance to connect with these fantastic humans.

Who lives assignment sheets? Theo the cat loves assignment sheets. We ALL love assignment sheets! Day 4: Still marking, going very slightly mad 🤪

New to under grad marking. Have had a lot of caffeine. Have started shouting out scary random things including: “use the rubric! please please for the love of marks - the rubric!” and mournful “noooooooo!” And some very excited “yes! yes! yes!” 🤯

Doing "very serious" PhD work today, recording an information video for my research participants when I had a special guest join me. Nico NEVER wants cuddles and smooches with me. And I never hear him purr 🐈‍⬛🤣 youtu.be/LxYWyq2d0Kc

I absolutely love live music, musical theatre and slushies (that may or may not contain vodka). QPAC and Mamma Mia made my dreams come true on Tuesday night.

Congratulations on a wonderful production!
