Raring2go! WHATS ON, CLUBS AND CLASSES 14 8.00am: I arrive in the office, put the kettle on, check and reply to any correspondence (emails, post, online messages) before checking my diary for the day ahead. I’m playing for a church service at 10.30am so I’d better practise the hymns and songs for that first. 9.00am: I’ve planned a new song for tonight’s choir rehearsal so the 50 copies of music need numbering and stamping before collating with the other choir music ready to give out tonight. 9.15am: A parent rings to ask how their son is getting on with his piano lessons and asks if I think he might be good enough to do an exam. “Yes!” I say, “Let’s do grade 1 to start with”. A morning in the life of a musician. 9.45am: Gosh, where does the time go? I quickly grab my music and drive to church for the 10.30am service. 10.00am: I arrive at church and check through the service sheet then have a quick chat with the vicar. Before I know it, people are arriving so I need to play some quiet organ music while they sit and wait for the service to start. 11.30am: Back in the office so I put my music away and reflect on the morning. It was a beautiful service and there was an excellent singer performing, what a joy it was to play for her. There are some singing lessons scheduled in this afternoon so I get my books out ready before getting my butties and finishing off getting the choir music ready for tonight. Part 2 to be continued...
