Hi all, sorry it's late. I didn't get a moment yesterday.

Please feel free to jump right into December's discussion. We talk about music lessons, practice, exams, concerts, auditions, repertoire, instrument hire/ purchase, reeds, strings and more. There is no minimum or maximum age or standard. Beginners are always welcome.

Our thoughts are with one of our members, Tabby, at this sad and difficult time for our family. Her situation has reminded me of all the things that are really important in life - mainly our loved ones - and that while music is something which can enhance all of our lives, I shouldn't waste time stressing over small stuff like exam results.

I am mum to Goo (13) and Rara (10).

Yup, my DS (14, percussionist) was doing his usual Kevin & Perry act yesterday and thinking of Tabby made me realise how lucky I am, despite the grunting-that-passes-as-communication.

Absolutely Waffle , sometimes the musical journeys that are dc are on seem all embracing, but really it’s so important not to worry about the small stuff and just enjoy each and every moment for what it is .
Lots of love to Tabby and her family

Beautifully said Waffle. Hugging my girls, Noo (11) and Moll (8) a little tighter than usual. Loving thoughts to Tabby & family xx

HER family, not our family. Gah. Good start.
