I had a supervisor for my latest #flatpack building project. He was very helpful #caturday #CatSky #cats

We did an #EasterEggHunt for the children to find their Easter Eggs and now they are hiding as many of the plastic eggs as they can find! #EasterSunday #HappyEaster

We have spent the day in the traditional way for a bank holiday weekend - building flatpack furniture. #flatpack #Ikea #BankHolidayDIY

I was going to put these on our daughter’s birthday cake. Will have to have a re-think!

And just like that the Easter holidays have begun for my little ones. #Easter #SchoolHolidays

I am sitting outside of a school while my son has his saxophone lesson. Tonight I can actually hear him play. How lovely! #mumlife #MusicLessons #MusicMum

"Musicians have given up touring - about 30% have had no work at all since Brexit came into full force." CEO of the Independent Society of Musicians Deborah Annetts lays bare how Brexit has hit the British music industry at today's UK-EU reset evidence session.

Where on earth did March go?

ICYMI over the weekend #Music #MusicalInstrument

Likewise if you are celebrating #Eid, I hope you are having a wonderful day.

If you are celebrating #MothersDay today I hope you have had a wonderful day.

Are your kids learning to play a #MusicalInstrument? This is a fantastic #Book about #Practice, about your role in #MusicPractice and why it’s important. There’s some great #PracticeTips in here too. #PracticeMakesProgress #GetKidsIntoMusic getkidsintomusic.com/2025/03/28/m...

A few years ago we went on a trip to Disney World. I remember at the time us saying that we wanted to do that trip when we did because we weren’t sure what the country would be like if Trump got back into the White House. We wouldn’t consider a USA trip now.

I wrote a #bookreview this week - loved this #book and now want to read more by Madeline Miller. Just need to read a few on my TBR pile first! #BookSky #Books coffeebreakbooks.uk/2025/03/19/c...

BREAKING: Pianist András Schiff cancels all his US engagements for 2025-26 in response to "the recent and unprecedented political changes in the United States." "Some people might say, 'just shut up and play.' I cannot, in good conscience, do that." www.kirshbaumassociates.com/agency.php?v...

The sky is blue!! So what better #playlist to listen to than one full of #Music to put the #Spring in your step… #FamilyFriendlyPlaylist #FamilyFriendly #MusicForTheWholeFamily getkidsintomusic.com/2025/03/14/m...

The British music industry is worth £5.8bn and supports around 200,000 jobs. 🎶 A visa waiver for touring artists is a crucial step for supporting the British music industry in Europe. 🇪🇺

#Choir rehearsal last night and we did a run through of all the #songs were singing. I now have a list of everything I thought I knew but didn’t … #ChoirLife #singing #music

Very handily #WorldBookDay is on a Thursday which in our house is always #ReadingNight. A night of the week where the whole family sits and reads our own books for a while after dinner instead of turning on the TV.

Twas the night before #WorldBookDay and all through the house, the children were deciding they needed homemade accessories to their costumes that they had never mentioned before…

Oreo is late with his month-end accounts, so is having to work this #caturday

I have no words for what happened at that televised press conference. I can only say that I firmly believe that we in the UK are best served with closer ties to the EU. I hope our political leadership are of the same belief.

This is quite astonishing, even when you think you couldn’t be surprised by the appalling things that man (DT) is doing any more something like this comes along.

While I am doing that I will be starting to think of what #music I want to put in next month’s playlist. I am doing a “music for springtime” #playlist, what are your favourite pieces/songs to listen to that conjure the idea of #spring for you?

Today I shall mostly be preparing the floor in my daughter’s room ready for carpet fitting next week and painting her new skirting boards. My goodness this room has taken a long time to get done! #Wednesday

Tonight at dinner @mken.bsky.social put this album on. It was very interesting, and the children loved it, but I’m not sure it was #DinnerMusic! #Music #Trombone music.apple.com/gb/album/the...

NEW YORK (AP) — Roberta Flack, Grammy-winning singer known for 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' and other intimate hits, dies at 88.

Sad news this morning from Michael Tilson Thomas: "My doctors have informed me that the tumor has returned...There are treatment options, but the odds are uncertain. "Now is the time to wind down my public appearances." michaeltilsonthomas.com/a-message-fr...

Singing is a mindful activity. This simple act has been shown to have profound impacts on children and young people. How often do you integrate singing into your school day? 🎶 @singupfoundation.bsky.social #Mindfulness #Anxiety #EduSky #ArtsandHealth

My son has gone off for day 2 of his @englishsymphony.bsky.social Youth course today. Very much looking forward to hearing what he got up to on this #YouthOrchestra course #Orchestra #YoungMusician

Eldest has gone off for a course with the ESO (English Symphony Orchestra) Youth today and I’m going to wander around for a bit before doing a spot of writing.

Time for a chapter or so of this while the children play balloon badminton. #Sunday #NewBook

New blog post day! And #Valentine’sDay so of course I have put together a #playlist of #SongsFromTheMovies that you can listen to with the whole family. #FamilyFriendly #FamilyFriendlyValentine’s getkidsintomusic.com/2025/02/14/v...

Day 2 of painting my daughter’s bedroom. Snacks and drinks ready, paint ready and I have @quietriotpod.bsky.social queued up ready to listen to while I paint. #DIY

Every night @appsonthemove.bsky.social & our cat, Oreo, play the wiping game. They’re getting quite good at it now! #Cat #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky

Definite #SundayVibes here- homework has been done, #MusicPractice to come later today along with showers and dinner. I may try to finish my book today too.

My daughter is at a party, so I’m waiting for it to finish, sat at Chancer’s Café in Stirchley with a #coffee and a #book #Saturday

The DfE has pulled its funding for National Youth Music Organisations. Government has routinely promised to improve access to music and the arts for young people. Cutting the funding of brilliant organisations that offer that access is a big step backwards. www.musicmark.org.uk/news/departm...

My children have #TTRockStars day at school today (a times game they play on the iPad & learn times tables as they play). So, inspired by this I’m posting a #CountingSongs playlist to help kids learn numbers. #MathsAndMusic #Music #MusicForKids #musicandlearning getkidsintomusic.com/2020/06/28/c...

It’s been reading night to night at our house. And tonight my 7 year old said she intended to carry reading night on with her children when she was grown up. #reading #books #bookSky
