Had plenty of fun today presenting at the @royalmusical.bsky.social Screen Music Pedagogies study day at @universityofleeds.bsky.social. Lots of really thoughtful and exciting work happening in the field.

I had a great time this weekend playing and presenting a first public preview of my next EP at the #InnovationInMusic2025 conference, and really enjoyed listening to so many interesting and thought provoking ideas being shared.

Last minute rehearsing for the first public taste this weekend of a new project I've had brewing for the last few months. Now just to make sure everything works on the day...

Tackling the Source of the Severn trail through the beautiful Hafren Forest in mid Wales - the perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Beautiful weather and surroundings for an afternoon's walk at Llwyn-onn in Bannau Brycheiniog national park, and some much needed proverbial and literal sunshine.

I confess that, upon first trying MuseScore well over ten years ago now, I was extremely dismissive of it. However, upon taking another look recently for teaching purposes I've been extremely impressed. Simple setup, decent features, easy workflow. How times have changed!

John Viriamu Jones (1856-1901), first principal of Cardiff University College (what would become modern day @cardiffuni.bsky.social), writing on the merits of music education. The language a little old fashioned, but the sentiment timeless. Take note, Vice Chancellor.

My letter to the Vice Chancellor of @cardiffuni.bsky.social, following the shameful announcement of the impending closure of its Music Department. If you haven't done so already, please sign the petition to save this cornerstone of Welsh arts (link below).
