Morning at the school was fine, took Mum shopping and she seemed in a bad way again. This is happening more and more often these days.
My new publisher got back in touch and all is very positive there.
Private lesson was great, then back down the A14 to make it in time for the school concert. All of my students lost their composure onstage and sped up/drifted out of rhythm, seemingly making the last two terms of work seem pointless. It was just fear; they panicked, and sped up. I'm not disappointed, they're 9 years old. But still. Okay, slightly disappointed. How do you get them to be 'stage ready' - it's a tough ask, having never performed in front of anyone but me before, to suddenly going on stage to 200 people. I was pretty scared for them.
