BBC Cardiff Singer of the World – The biennial competition for opera singers, with only one entrant allowed to represent each country. Catch my thoughts on the blog all this week.
First Rehearsal-A-Phobia (Beyond the Notes) – Why you shouldn’t be afraid of the process of “putting it all together” – vital for anyone involved in collaborative music making.
Nightmare (Don’t Shoot the Pianist) – Ever had one of these dreams…? *shudder*
How Can We Talk to Young Students About Performance Anxiety? (Bulletproof Musician) – A great post for teachers and parents with a little interactive task to help us think about how to help the youngest performers face up to stage-fright.
Write it Out (Practicing the Piano) – A great idea I’ve not come across for tackling those slips and errors which plague us.
Can your students “mapify” and “tonalize”? (Music Teacher’s Helper) – An interesting take on sight-reading which tries to verbalise some of the aural processes of listening to music and playing on sight.
