Piano pieces

I have uploaded my 3 grade 6 pieces to You Tube, to get some comments and critical feedback. So far I have had feedback from my director who was a concert pianist. I was so happy to hear he had listened to them, and was happy to criticise my flaws. He gave me some great tips, which I will adhere to. Why not check them out, and any feedback negative or positive is very welcome. The link is http://www.youtube.com/user/MrsCherieEvans

My Article

I have now finished my article, attached a photo and sent it off to Music Leader. I will find out this week when it will be published...its all very exciting. I am hoping this will lead onto an online blog with them. It is just what I need. I am also preparing for next week, as I start back with the project work..its all happening in Cherie's world.

Advert

I have now finished designing my advert for piano students which will go out in the local rag Groby & Field head Spotlight next month. Hopefully this will help drum up some local business for me, and lead onto further things. I have also been in discussion with a friend regarding my website, which I have just started to plan. He had some really good tips which I shall now put into practice!

Music Leader meeting

Last Wednesday I met up with the Music Leader director, (www.musicleader.net) for a general catch up. He has requested an article based on my journey so far, and will publish it on the website and in one of the magazines associated to Music Leader. I am very excited about this, as it will raise my profile no end. I will be meeting up with a close friend and VA (www.rrva.co.uk) to discuss the best way to structure it.

Drake Music

Met up with one of the music leaders from Drake Music. We planned the forthcoming sessions, which will be based on podcasting and composing using the Sound beam. I am also distributing lots of postcards, advertising my music tuition services. Hopefully I will get some interest soon. September is gonna be a very busy month!

Get Creative Day!

Drake Music contracted me to facilitate/demonstrate the Soundbeam 2 at a school in Mansfield on Saturday. They had organised a 'Creative Day' for all the students and their families. It was really good fun! I got to work with the guy who is heading the project in September, so I was full of questions. He ran me through how it all worked and what the possibilities where with it. It was a bit of a way to travel, but worth it! Can't wait until September now.

More job opportunities

I have now signed up to a teaching agency , in the hope to get some TA or cover supervisor work on a Thursday and Friday.It's looking good, I have had interest from about 5 schools, and have applied for one of the posts. So hopefully I will hear this week! Also Drake music have contacted me and offered me work with the sound beam on a one off. I am really looking forward to that, it will give me good heads up for the project which starts in September. So things are looking up for a change!
