My stats don't compare. I'm in awe! I'd love a recital of your 2016 new words... – at Stratford, London

Feeling so lucky this week. Went freelance and moved to London just over 6 months ago for a necessary life shake-up. 100% worth it. Monday Grimes @E_N_O Tuesday Busted at o2 Wednesday Pygmalion @oldvictheatre Friday @BBCSingers @natyouthchoir All with lovely friends too 💜 – at Stratford, London

At the old stomping ground today with @CohereArts! Can't wait to hear songs by local composers and Suffolk's young people, taught by the masterful @appleton_tom: all part of Unsung Heroes. Loved hearing about the heritage trips from @MandyRawlins71 @SuffolkArchives yesterday too! – at City of London, London

Starting a new piece of work today. Where? Here's a small clue... – at Paddington, London

Down in Bristol today for @BrittenPears helping @mikechallis record a couple of this year's @FridayPMs songs with Bristol Youth Choir. Great to hear a couple of these songs come to life after commissioning them with my old hat on, and lovely to step back in! – at Bristol, England

Training day today with @hmdtmusic - working with artists (visual, dance, drama, music) looking at classroom workshop skills, incl. how you link with curriculum topics and embed equality throughout: focussing on Windrush today, of course! Lots of great inspiration and sharing 👏

Spending a few days @StJohnsSmithSq for @ASMForchestra's annual side-by-side with @SouthbankSinf. So great watching the interaction between players of both groups: "Some things I was doing were at 20%... working with someone so experienced is pushing me to tap into the rest" 🙌🙌

Loved being back @BrittenPears today to facilitate their SPARK event: the Future of Music Education in Suffolk, following on from a report commissioned from @UniofSuffolk with @SuffolkMusicHub and @NNFest. 50 stakeholders, great panel, and lots of thoughts for the future!

Another day with big paper, looking at evaluation (my favourite, no joke) with @BrittenSinfonia @Chris_BellMusic! First day as a freelancer delivering any kind of training/facilitation and had a great time doing so!

Had a great day yesterday with @ASMForchestra, working with @RosieBergonzi and our players to plan some new KS2 digital resources to be released later in the year! Already looking forward to testing out some ideas with @MusicWandsworth in July 🎶
