Hi Guys, I hope that all is well out there!! I have had a whirlwind couple of weeks, between playing copious amounts of country music, playing at Robin Gibb's house for a charity function (yep thats Robin Gibb of the Bee Gee's!) and teaching privately has been manic! I will also be starting a new role as an on site music practitioner for Stantonbury School which is very exciting - the job is a mixture of in class assistance, one to one tutoring and group coaching. The video's that I have been promising are going to be arriving soon - I haven't committed anything to the site as yet because I want to ensure that I provide the best quality production that I can (so stay tuned and it will be here.... soonish) I have had the pleasure of taking on several new students and am very impressed with the progress that they have been making - it sounds cheesy but there is simply no substitute for hard work and perseverance, so keep up the great work guys! I have also been trying to challenge myself to play things that I don't already know. It might sound obvious, but it is very easy to get into the habit of rehearsing the same styles of music or fills - remember to keep it fresh and work on your reading, it really does empower you to educate yourself. OK Guys - please keep in touch and I look forward to posting again soon! Take care!, Joe |
