Yet another full house for RNCM’s opera ‘Cendrillon’ today! Two terrific reviews so far, inc. in Seen and Heard International and a 5* review from Northern Soul. Don’t miss this magical introduction to Christmas. @RNCMVoice

Can't say I was expecting to see @JudgeRinderTV singing gospel songs today #gospel #Christmas

Still on a concert high after the first performance of #cendrillon yesterday at @RNCMvoice!

When you're desperate for a music stand

When Facebook ads are like "do you want to know the true value of your Amati #violin?" ... ha...

Most people would spend their time actually analyzing their Haydn string quartet part. Whereas I'm trying to analyze this obscure drawing on the back of it.

Website design is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever experienced #websitedesign #assignment

@EinarStefansson @pussyrrriot Ahh I wasn't planning on going but then my friend suddenly got a couple free tickets from someone who couldn't go! It was absolutely crazy!

[Elyena Clapperton @ElyenaCla]

Have now actually turned into an activist after the @pussyrrriot gig tonight! What an insanely inspiring group of people! #manchester #MotivationMonday

Inspiration to practise hard from @ElyenaCla ‘if you think about it, we only have another 7.5 hours left in college’ #12hourdaystruggles

@AliceFViolin Opera here we come

When I left my room after practicing Smetana yesterday the maintainence man outside said "was that you playing pirates of the carribean on the violin?"

[Elyena Clapperton @ElyenaCla]

So excited to start my first opera project at the RNCM. @AliceFViolin #cendrilon #opera

[Elyena Clapperton @ElyenaCla]

Looking forward to returning to temperatures of above zero! #travel #weekend #oslo #winter

It's curious that we musicians have to practise endlessly and painstakingly; but our real goal is to be able to play the musical phrases completely naturally - exactly as we would sing them in the shower!
