So we can all safely say lock-down has taken its toll in a variety of ways but one thing I completely took for granted was how easy it usually is to make music with others 🙋🏼‍♀️🎼
In general, I'm at my dad's a lot and I have really missed playing along with him, not least because he is an incredibly talented and acclaimed composer/pianist but mainly because it is just so much fun 😊😊😊
He doesn't get the whole virtual duet stuff so it was interesting when I asked him to record an excerpt for me to play over 😆
"No we don't rehearse it, you just record and sent it to me"
For my first stab at remote recording, I'm relatively happy, perfection may be achievable in the studio or person but we make do and plough on as best we can in the current predicament 👏🏼

The Second Waltz by Shostakovich is one of my absolute favourites to play in an orchestra or an ensemble - it gives me goosebumps just thinking about all the beautiful venues I have been so privileged to have played this in, good times! 🎶🙌🏻😁

Well, fingers crossed I've got at least one more vid to post this weekend if I don't get waylaid over the bank holiday weekend! It's not like we can go anywhere though is it 😂😭😂

Stay safe everyone and enjoy the rest of this glorious weekend! 🙏🏻💛
