@SqueezySkiddoo Where are you based? It's very pretty, but probably pre-WWII, and these 120 Bass instruments are often in baaaaad shape. Might be better as an ornament in a pub, sadly

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

@LadyPerinbridge @tombennett71 I disagree. As a student, the only subjects I really paid attention in and worked hard for were precisely the "maverick" teachers, who i felt understood me as a person. It's okay to have some give in any system. Optimising & standardising everything can be pernicious

@seanlclancy Listening and enjoying it very much, really lovely piece! I like the way it breathes

@romanmars this feels like a 99pi story asking to be made; from 2015 https://t.co/Lrpr3XCOEg / and from now https://t.co/xNKi8Yei18

@maya_verlaak @house_apartment @hwfmorris Lovely to read this — a thoughtful review :)

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

@j_i_hamilton @mwhiteside @scotnewmus It's a fairly adjacent field, but I think that actors actually have a more brutal experience of rejection than composers do. At least the form filling crap we have gives us a buffer, rather than "sorry yr face & body is just not right, maybe get a new one kthx"

Looking to speak with fellow composers who don't play piano for #britishmusiccollection article - any style, any background, welcoming different perspectives. DM me if you'd like a chat @soundandmusic @Heritage_Quay

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

@Robn6500 Ahh thanks Rob!

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

@seanlclancy I'm feeling the same Sean. Different sort of teaching for me (I'm in a Lewisham secondary school and doing teacher training through this on-the-job apprenticeship scheme), and it's so hard to carve out any headspace.

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

@seanlclancy So sorry to hear this Seán. Sending condolences, and thinking of you and your family. Much love.

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

@seanlclancy @Neilluck @BirmCons Ahh gutted to have missed that!

[Paul Zaba @PZaba]

Amazing band, so well deserved. Listen!
