Oh wow! Already hooked to #thepiano Channel 4 with Claudia Winkleman - what an amazing programme highlighting how wonderful it is to play the piano! Talking about fear of performance, rejection, fearlessness and expressing yourself through music. Such awesome judges too! Hooray!

Not one of the people who decided to close BBC Singers has been to one of its concerts. To cloak this dreadful decision as a strategy prioritising ‘Quality, Agility and Impact’ is utterly ignorant & adds insult to injury.

Totally agree. My young singing life was fulfilled by many weeks working with BBC Singers. Some of my happiest choral memories. #bbcsingers

Excited to be singing this with a very similar line up 4 years on!

So exciting to see ⁦SCHS Music⁩ musical line up for our Evening in ⁦Wells Cathedral⁩ on 24th March. We will be premiering my Lenten anthem too!

Some of my happiest singing memories are with this wonderful and unique choir. Please sign this petition to reverse the BBC’s appalling decision to stop the singing. Save the BBC Singers chng.it/yCK2GGRtFB

Why is the BBC News (UK) barking on about Gary Lineker and not giving any air time to the unwarranted demolition of an entire professional choir BBC Singers?

In choir rehearsal tonight with my ladies choir The Southwest Songbirds, standing in solidarity with BBC Singers. You are amazing! We all support you #WeAreTheBBCSingers #BBCsingers #savethearts

Absolutely hilarious headline!

Fabulous to hear my piece in such a fantastic building being sung so well by Streatham & Clapham High School brilliant choir! #lentenanthem #womancomposer #womeninmusic

Thank goodness London is starting to see sense #saveeno #eno #englishnationalopera Keep ENO where it leaves please! Don’t try to rehouse it!

So excited to be preparing for this recital with Ben Costello Thames Concerts - celebrating #madeleinedring centenary.

STOLEN INSTRUMENT Today my beloved flute was taken. It was in a beige rucksack, stolen between Platform 3 at Farringdon and East Croydon Station, on the 9.34 train to Brighton. Flute is a Brannen silver Millenium 5320 with a silver Lafin headjoint w/gold lip plate. Please share!

Just received my Directory of Independent Senior School Music Departments from Music Teachers Association and see the dearth of female DoMs. I look forward to taking up the mantle as the first female DoM Alleyn's School in January. One of 16/200 listed. #equality #womeninmusic #femaleleaders

So sad. . .

Today I left Streatham & Clapham High School after 9 years. What a journey! I was given this beautiful cartoon by Felix which will take pride of place in my new office Alleyn's School when I take up my new post as Director of Music in January.

No argument there. Melvyn Bragg in The Times and The Sunday Times today.

So proud to be part of this wonderful department! What a wonderful concert and what dedicated and talented students!

My ladies choir - The Southwest Songbirds - were sounding great this evening! Singing BEYONCÉ Love on Top here, alongside Adele Dolly Parton Joni Mitchell Carole King billie eilish raising money for Make 2nds Count breast cancer charity. All women composers!

What a wonderful first 6 months Music at Alleyn's School Alleyn's School
