Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone x

Awright, min

Hello everyone!!

I am in Glasgow at the moment, going to audition for a masters course at the RSAMD.  I have been to so many auditions in the last few months, I have become a bit disillutioned with it all.  I really want to be the best singer I can possibly be, but after a few auditions where nothing comes to fruition one does begin to wonder what one is doing wrong.  But nevermind, you just have to roll with the punches and keep going.

The Northfield AIYF Youth Singing Group is starting up again.  Well, it actually started last Thursday but I am now going on a publicity blitz.  We need to get some new singers into our little group.  Please spread the word to any parents out there that have kids who like singing.

Group singing lessons!  They are FREE!!! FREEEEEEE!!!  Thursday nights 6pm - 7pm at the Northfield Community Centre, Byron Square. 

Free singing lessons will be provided for children aged 8 - 14 yrs. They will receive guidance from professional musicians, choral conductors, visiting experts and volunteers. 

The Northfield Youth Singing Group has been formed following a successful summer residency in June 2009. The group was formed by the Aberdeen International Youth Festival in collaboration with Glasgow singing group Little Larks and local community music and events company JCN Arts & Events. The regular weekly sessions will culminate in the Northfield Youth Singing Group performing as part of the Aberdeen International Youth Festival in 2010.

Cheers

Sweet

I am getting more and more enquiries about singing lessons, invoices are being paid and the Northfield Youth Singing Group is working well.  Today is the first day that I feel I have a real business :O

Things are looking good for my little venture, it's all quite exciting!

I am having a flatwarming on Saturday 14th and would like to invite Aberdeen Blogs :)  I know most of you anyway.  I don't want my place to be trashed or anything, but I think the worst offenders are already coming (billy) :p

I just heard from one of my oldest and dearest friends, one of my buddies that got me through university. His mum passed away suddenly last week.

I think it would be inappropriate to go into details about my friend or his family, but I just wanted to write something.

She was a lovely woman, she was always really kind to me and it's a damn shame that she has gone.

Ooooh well michty, I've been doing quite a lot in the past wee while.


He who likes jamming with bongos and I have now moved into our first little home, and it's wonderful.

I can't believe I managed to survive in our old place for so long.  Our new gaff is really quiet, but like most things I didn't realise quite how noisy the old place was until we moved here.  We have a shared garden with the other flats in the block.  I don't care that it isn't ours exclusively, I can't wait until the summer and I can have impromptu barbeques :D

We also have a shed, and there are plans afoot for it to be the music hub of the Norrie estate, lol :) when it is done up I will give my singing lessons there, and there is enough space for it to be a jamming session space for our various musical exploits.  We will also use it as the international hq for my wee company.  I have registered as self employed and am selling my wares via the name JCN Arts & Events.  Ooooh, exciting!  I think a music-related company based on Abbey Road is quite apt, eh?

Which brings me to the Northfield Singing Group, I am one of the group leaders and I need to spread the word.  Does anyone know of any children who enjoy singing?
