Are you a violinist or viola player? Would you like to take part in a free project improving your mind-body connections? Together with Marina Naredo Martinez, a researcher at Lubeck University, we're running a 4 week programme to see if including 10 minutes of movement exploration (based on the Feldenkrais Method) improves your ease of playing over 4 weeks.
To find out more, and join us, please sign up here before the 20th May (when it starts!)

A little random, but I have two clarinets for sale.

One might be of interest to klezmorim /jazzers - it's a silver clarinet: Three Star Cundy-Bettony instrument - most of which I believe were made in the 1940s.
The other is a Le Fevre clarinet that I thought I would try to learn, but realised it's not realistic. Would be good a pupil who needs an instrument that's not too expensive I think.

DM me if you're interested and I'll send pictures.

This Summer I was performing in Spain with and we played in Burgos Cathedral. The wood working was amazing: I'm posting the pictures here for all who might be interested.

Such a nice comment from Andrew Kohn on my double bass mutes:

"Your mute is quite beautiful and quite distinct"
