Today we gathered as a family to celebrate the life of our beautiful dog Molly in one of her favourite places. A reminder of how precious life, love, family and friends are.

Here is my “why”. Connecting with students as humans, making music together, shared experiences and developing meaningful relationships. Children flourish with music 🎵

After 8 weeks of group lessons, 24 draw and tell sessions and 1 performance, data gathering for my PhD is complete. I miss it already 💗 I am so honoured to have spent this time with my 8 research experts - brave, creative and generous kiddos who experience music performance anxiety

Her Music Fell Into Obscurity. Now It’s Back at the Philharmonic. Julia Perry’s “Stabat Mater” was well received in the 1950s. But it took until this week for the New York Philharmonic to program it.

Very grateful to have had the chance to write a story for
@nytimes.com about composer Julia Perry, her brilliant and tragic career, as well as the incredible, ongoing work so many have contributed to that makes her music accessible to performers and audiences!

I wrote this acwrimo blog post ages ago, didn’t expect it to drop right at this moment of feverish intrigue
about the future of AI vs humans….
Anyway ✨📚

My brave, fabulous child vocalists who have self-assessed music performance anxiety perform today. This is week 8 of data gathering for my PhD research. 7 weeks of group lessons, one performance and 3 draw and tell sessions have been an incredible chance to connect with these fantastic humans.

Wow! What a wonderful day 🎵💗

🎵 3 fabulous student concerts
🎵 26 incredible performers
🎵 So many supportive families and friends
🎵 Amazing team of helpers

Students made music. They were brave, creative and generous. I am grateful.

It’s beautiful isn’t it? Without the guilt (and shame and self doubt) there was a flow state ♥️ Hooray for doing the things and enjoying it!

Today I wrote. Just two x 25 minute blocks. But I was writing and it was guilt free and I felt supported and part of something. Thank you for the ideas, inspiration and posts from everyone participating in #AcWriMo

Thanks for the great idea 😊 I’ve downloaded the app today.

It looks beautiful! Congratulations 😊

Resilience in the face of oppression. I watched ONEFOUR: Against all odds today - tripped over it by accident on Netflix. I’m glad I did. Manager Ricky Simandjuntak "When you look and see the potential in people, rather than focusing on their mistakes, you might find something beautiful."

I’ll be there virtually on Monday and Tuesday and in person on Wednesday 😊

That looks like such fun! Can’t wait to dive back into colloquium next year 💗

My amazing team of experts (voice students aged 8-11 years) shared their fears about singing with me this week. Is there anything here that surprises you? When students share their fears, it’s important to listen, validate and be empathetic 💗🎵

Oh I love that! The “can’t want to” is such a great description.

I experience many stages of “The dumbening” before I hit “The dumb”.

A sense of humour (albeit self deprecating at times) helps 😂

Thank you! A great article😊Recently diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) recently at the age of 48, I always just thought I had “the dumb” as learning always seemed to be exhausting, confusing and hard work. It’s wonderful to learn how to treat myself and my brain gently, whilst “doing the things”.

I just posted my blog on writing with ADHD, which to me is like fishing barehanded... (Plus one with lots of writing tips for ADHD brains.) Let me know what you think! #AcWri #AcademicSky #PhDSky #DisabledInSTEM

Who lives assignment sheets? Theo the cat loves assignment sheets. We ALL love assignment sheets! Day 4: Still marking, going very slightly mad 🤪

Sending love and wine to anyone who marked any of my earlier work 😂😂😂. I promise to forever honour the rubric

New to under grad marking. Have had a lot of caffeine. Have started shouting out scary random things including: “use the rubric! please please for the love of marks - the rubric!” and mournful “noooooooo!” And some very excited “yes! yes! yes!” 🤯

I’d be honoured!

@katherinefirth.bsky.social Is it wrong that the first thing I wanted to do was turn to page 86 to see Jellycat? 🐈‍⬛
