Weekly Studio Update + Baby Shark & Stock Shortages

It's school holiday time! Those of you who are in school have had a topsy-turvy first semester and I'm sure you're enjoying the break after the exams and assignments of the last few weeks. Across the road, the Stafford Skate Centre has re-opened and now we're singing along to the distant rumble of the hottest party tracks of the past few decades while they have their school holiday sessions. It only takes one listen of "Baby Shark" to get it stuck in your head for days!

At this stage I have no plans to take any holidays between now and the end of October when I'll begin paternity leave. Once our baby arrives, I'll take the rest of the year off and resume in January. That means we have around 4 months of lessons left this year - plenty of time to get you prepared to make the most of a couple of months of unsupervised practise.
A few students have felt one of the less obvious results of COVID - a lack of musical instruments coming in to Australia! I have 3 students waiting for stock to arrive at their local music stores for their new digital pianos. I have my fingers crossed for you that everything arrives soon!
A warm welcome to Jane, Ian, Daniel, Erin and Benjamin who have either recently had their first lessons or are just about to.​

Things I've been watching/listening to this week:
  1. 2020 - Ben Folds - a new single by Ben to sum up the year to date. Coarse language inside!
  2. Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade But It's Mambo No. 5 By Lou Bega - a nightmare of a mash-up. (This one's for you, Alex C!)
  3. THE FEARLESS FLYERS /// Adrienne & Adrianne - a Vulfpeck classic given a re-do with guitars and horns instead of piano. (This one's for you, Adrienne!)
  4. Whiplash (as reviewed by a jazz musician) - Adam Neely gives his thoughts on the film that came out six(?) years ago. I had some similar thoughts, he goes deep with his criticism.
  5. There's a new album out by HAIM, I've only had one listen through so far. Any other fans out there?
  6. Albums beginning with the letter O: Travis (Ode to J Smith), Ben Kweller (On My Way), Sarah Blasko (The Overture & The Underscore)
Be sure to let me know what you've been enjoying lately and if there's anything you think I should check out!
