  • Creatures Great and Small

    My Piano Tuition theme this term is “Creatures Great and Small”. For the studio composition project however, I will not be making a video. Instead you must choose three contrasting animals from either Pets, Farmyard, or Jungle categories and compose either a suite of three short pieces featuring the three animals or one piece which features the three animals in relating themes.

    I was really pleased to hear that one of my youngest students had already pre-empted this composition project when she showed me her dinosaur composition yesterday, having chosen to represent three different dinosaurs, two of which I’d never even heard of before!

    Watch out for the weekly listening task in the Evernote listening folder following Saint-Saens’ famous “Carnival of the Animals” suite.

    The term will culminate with  the Summer Charity Concert which will take place at All Saint’s Church, Hoole on Saturday 30th June at 11am concluding with another “multimedia spectacular” which is currently in preparation!

     

  • Christmas Charity Concert – 3rd December 2011

    Preparations have been underway in earnest for the Christmas Concert this term which will take place at All Saint’s Church, Hoole on Saturday 3rd December, 2011 starting at 11am. The programme will feature seasonal solos and duets and I hope to conclude with a bit of audience participation!

    Tickets are £3/adult and £1/child and can be purchased either directly from Will Hay or via paypal below.

    Funds raised from the concert tickets will continue to support a lesson bursary for a student at Kampala Music School, Uganda

    The student in question is no longer Betina as she has been too busy with the pressure of school work to continue her studies on the violin, however the bursary fund has been transferred to a new student called Justus. I hope to be able to furnish you with more details in the programme at the forthcoming concert.

  • Summer Charity Concerts

    This term there will be two charity concerts taking place:
    “Playing Together” on Saturday 18th June, 2011 at 10:30am at Upton Village Hall, and
    “Ludus Cantiones” on Saturday 25th June, 2011 at 11am at St. Columba’s Hall.

    At “Playing Together” you can expect a programme of piano and instrumental solos, piano duets and other small ensembles.

    “Ludus Cantiones” translates as play sing, reflecting the vocal and choral content of the programme alongside piano solos and ensembles. We are looking forward to welcoming the Chester Music Society Youth Choir and Preludes to sing in this concert.

    Both concerts should last no more than an hour.

    Funds raised from the concert tickets will continue to support a lesson bursary for Betina, a student at Kampala Music School, Uganda

    Tickets are £3/adult and £1/child for either concert. A special price of £5/adult for both concerts is also available. They can be purchased either directly from Will Hay or via paypal
