Autumn / Winter music thread - 2026/2027

[northerngoldilocks]

Time for a new thread for the new school year!

Come and talk about music lessons, choosing instruments, exams, auditions, specialist schools, orchestras or whatever other music activities are going on. Everyone is welcome, from those with total beginners to those whose children are studying music at advanced levels. Ask for advice or share successes or struggles.

Thank you @northerngoldilocks. Getting ready for year 11 on Friday here.

Thank you for the new thread, northern. We are looking forward to a new school year. D in one of them someone dropped out and he had to learn their piece by himself in the morning for the afternoon concert. It was crazy but he did very well! Hope everyone have a great start of new term/year!

Thanks for the new thread. Year 13 starts tomorrow for dd. Her singing teacher messaged her today to ask if she would sing the soprano solo in Faure’s Requiem on Sunday so DD’s been practising it all day as she’s not sung it before.
