This has been one of the very best summers here in Ireland in a long time. With a heat wave that was followed by warm summer-dress weather for the past few weeks, I found myself feeling quite lazy and happy taking in some much needed sun. While the summer has been a lovely break, and I'm delighted to have a little more prep time before it really gets busy, I'm finding myself super excited to get back into the swing of things this Autumn. I've been taking the time to prepare for all of my upcoming teaching, performance, and travel engagements, and it's really getting me anxious to get started! There are lots of exciting performing opportunities coming up, including numerous concerts with Voci Nuove. We will be performing in the Cork Opera House in September, St. Finbarre's Cathedral in October. and in Vienna, Austria with full orchestra in November! I'm also just beginning work on a new project which will feature original work and some covers that I'm hoping to release in the coming months.
I'm ecstatic about the explosion of students we've had enroll in the Mitchelstown School of Music and Arts for Autumn 2013 after the great success of our Summer Concert back in June. The Mitchelstown community seems very keen to explore their voices (we've had a great influx of children, adults, and teens!) and I can't wait to get started with them all! (I've enjoyed meeting so many new faces over the summer who are very keen to get going in September - I love the enthusiasm!)
I've loads of exciting new music to dive into with my two junior choirs and the adult vocal ensemble from old school rock to Lady Gaga to classical to Disney!
Interest in the brand new Bishopstown Community School Adult Choir (see Upcoming Events for more information on how to sign up) has been fantastic, and I hope to see many familiar faces (from previous Bishopstown & Ballincollig Community School courses I've taught) and lots of brand new singing enthusiasts at the open information night which will take place in September (stay posted for details on this).
My Intermediate Singing Course has been picked up by Ballincollig Community School for Autumn 2013 which means that we will have record numbers again enroll in this never-done-before-in-Ballincollig course (so thrilled!) Both Ballincollig and Bishopstown Community Schools will be running my Introduction to Singing Course again this Autumn as well, and I'm really looking forward to sharing the art of singing with more students. I've found teaching to be so rewarding and I'm feeling very lucky to have built such fantastic relationships with my students over the past year in all three locations I'm currently teaching in as well as my wonderful private students who also give me great joy! What a rewarding school year its been. Now I'm ready to do it all over again! This is going to be one heck of a term everyone! And I will be one busy woman come September! I better go enjoy a little more sunshine before the crispy Autumn weather settles in...... :-)
