It is so good to be back playing together this year. We have quite a range of music on which we are working, in terms of both style and difficulty! The other day, we had a good reminder of how playing music teaches us valuable life lessons. I asked for an “old favourite” and “Mice Running Around” was the suggestion. This tune used to bring on a collective groan and we would have a laugh, as it is a rather difficult piece. However, after a great deal of dedicated practice, involving persistence and concentration, it now sounds really terrific and is great fun to play. This works for many things in life. Well done to all!
