A rollercoaster year so far.🙏🏽 Goodbye to my beloved father and privilege to pay tribute to him. The wonders of Easter and new discoveries and adventures to be had in the year ahead. I love this medley.https://t.co/N6IVTl1ln6
Seems fitting at this time to say bye to twitter/ X.

@BassPMK Super. Well done! Thank you for all the music over the years. It has certainly made my time @StPetersYork all the more pleasurable. I will miss Swing Band rehearsal on a Tuesday lunchtime as I would walk past and hear tunes that you would hear at Ronnie Scott's. Incredible!🎉🎊

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

@music_rugby Amazing well done!🎉

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

@music_rugby Stunning! Thank you. I have been listening to many of the pieces on repeat. Rest and peace for the soul. 🙏🏽

What a fantastic first concert in Salamanca Cathedral last night to a full house!

[RugbySchoolMusic @music_rugby]

This morning we explored Salamanca - lots of fascinating sites to see and history to learn about. Now rehearsal time for the concert this evening!

@_cathedralmusic @YorkMinChoir @XanderArmstrong @BenMorris_Music Dashed over after coaching and really enjoyed the service and seeing you and Natasha. It's been a while since I last visited and was reminded of Naomi's truly magical time there singing @YorkMinChoir
From Chorister to anthem Singer she's singing Jerusalem @SixNationsRugby today

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

@music_rugby @ClareChoir Amazing. They are a stunning choir! We heard them a couple of years ago when we visited and really enjoyed the service.

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

Huge congratulations William. Such a pleasure teaching you over the last 5 years @StPetersYork and 9 years as LAMDA teacher and centre coordinator across both schools. Such talented students who I will miss as I retire from teaching and move into Chaplaincy and pastoral care.🙏🏽❤️

[St Peter's School, York @StPetersYork]

Success for St Peter's LAMDA pupils! 🎭

One of the youngest in the country to have sat the Grade 7 Silver Medal Acting Solo, Fourth Form William received a Distinction. Across the school we saw 62 Distinctions and 10 Merits awarded!

@james_a_drury Merry Christmas James to you and the family.

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

Wonderful to take a deep breath and have a mini break in the gorgeous Yorkshire Moors at the end of a busy year. As I come into my 19th year of coaching next year it was a great opportunity to reflect on what has passed and what is on the horizon. Merry Christmas one and all.❤️🙏🏽

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

@choir_york @SongBoxYork @music_rugby Awh thanks Miss Forster. I told Naomi and she laughed and said " that's so funny".
She loves that you remember that and wants you to know that the 12 year old vocabulary slips out every now and again. 😊

[Frances Simon @FSimonCoaching]

https://t.co/v7r6znfS2p awh another proud mummy moment. This was so heartwarming. Thanks @SongBoxYork for where it all started. Picture taken @music_rugby where they both are now. In the words of Etta James who Naomi loves... "The only thing better than singing is more singing".
