Two weeks to go!

Dear all, Just thought it was worth mentioning that we only have two weeks of sessions left to go before we break for Christmas. (Past experience has shown that it’s a complete write-off to go anywhere near that last week before Xmas). So Barring popular two year old demand in January (it usually takes a …

Little Music Makers – we must be doing something right!

Dear all, When we get to the end of this term Music Makers will have been running for five complete years. This is quite exciting, I’ve just googled fifth anniversary – in terms of silver, gold, ruby etc. – and apparently it’s wood! Does that mean I can get a new violin? (Don’t tell the …

Have we just had the Summer for this year?

A bit cynical on my part I know, and I hope I’m wrong, but it seems to me that for the last couple of years we have a gloriously hot – but tiny – window of a few days in Spring, followed by several months of grey dampness that is the new British Summer. Come …

Little Music Makers, Cracking on towards Easter

There are traditions within Music Makers that just have to be observed. Christmas songs, playing “Happy Arrival” to new babies who’ve been with us as bumps, and last but not least, the Spring Chicken song in the run up to Easter. It’s good fun and I’ve got word sheets for it, so I think we’ll …
