I finally get to teach a Piano Literature class this year… what pieces/composers should I be sure to include that often are left out of the textbooks? #thursdaythoughts

[Emily Rose Wenman @ewenman]

Revisiting @JenevoraW's excellent "Teaching Singing to Children and Young Adults" & I love this, from the Introduction. It strikes me that many educational singing environments, from youth ensembles to music colleges, have forgotten their role as a safe space for 'serious play'

A little clip of us rehearsing She is the River by Don MacDonald yesterday ahead of a very special concert in Guildford 🎶😀. https://t.co/GBWjNQ9147

[Multitude of Voyces @Multitudeofvoyc]

Is your choir considering purchasing our Vol 3 for Advent/Christmas/Epiphany 2022-2023? We'd love to hear from you if so! In these uncertain times we want to plan well ahead of time as our lovely new 'music' paper comes from Eastern Europe and involves multiple border crossings.

Help me program my next solo piano concert! What would you want to hear? 🎹 #MondayMotivation

[Ben Gaunt @bencomposer]

Hello. I am looking for chilled-out, simple piano pieces by living composers. Fully notated, improvisatory, aleatoric - all great. Love to receive some by non-male, non-white, but everybody welcome! (Putting a set together for some potential gigs) #good

[Helena Cooke @HelenaCooke8]

Do any freelancers struggle with keeping organised with such lack of structure in their life? Having a bit of crisis with it and if anyone has any words of wisdom, would love to chat

…I am totally confident in my knowledge, experience and abilities and I want every young Asian, black, LGBTQIA+, person with disability, basically everyone, to know no one can ever stop you creating anything you like and being proud. Work hard and be yourself. That’s all. 🙏🏾

[Nitin Sawhney @thenitinsawhney]

Of course everyone has their opinion, although no mention was made of the fact that all three nights sold out, the choir took 5 bows each night and that many audience members, including a lovely 91 yr old former war requiem chorister, complimented the music in tears. Tweet 4)👇🏾

[David Ross @sgtoyne]

This afternoon at 4pm - the first state school choir to broadcast BBC Choral Evensong in its 96 year history. Hopefully a seismic moment, and a welcome reminder to so many that independent schools don't have a monopoly on outstanding music-making.

[Thea Derks @tdrks]

During her short life Vitězslava Kaprálová (1915-1940) developed into one of Czechoslovakia's best-loved song composers. One critic wrote: 'Her colourful piano parts are not merely accompaniment, but form a close bond with the text.’ https://t.co/uXlaLNzceM @Donne_UK
