Nostalgia & Blogs

Another post here - after I'd said I would be shutting the blog down. Reason being? I'm here to introduce Rebecca's blog, which she will be maintaining during her 10 months in Montserrat. It's been very interesting to read about her experiences which have somewhat mirrored mine, and I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on all her ongoings! You can read her blog at http://musicalmontserrat.wordpress.com/.

Lately I have been sifting through all my photos taken whilst in Montserrat, feeling great pangs of nostalgia and putting up a few straggling ones on my Montserrat album on Facebook. Looks like there will be more updates on this blog to come!

Onwards & Forwards

A huge congratulations to Becky Chalmers, who has been selected by Guildhall & the Montserrat Foundation (UK) as the next music education specialist to be based full-time in Montserrat for a year. Becky, also a Guildhall postgraduate, is a major in orchestra studies with flute as her principal instrument.

Becky previously trained as a chorister and has extensive experience leading choirs. She also plays the piano and has musical directed productions with Newcastle University. I am excited to see her carry out the continuation of education and outreach work in Montserrat and I am sure her presence will be a huge inspiration to students and the wider community!

Becky will also be maintaining her own blog about her endeavours in Monty, so stay tuned!
