Fantastic afternoon at church for come-and-sing 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', brilliantly conducted by the wonderful @hjonathan83. Great to welcome lots of new folks as well as some familiar faces, and I think we've all gone home still humming!

We are recruiting for two (or more) new wonderful team members! Please spread the word togetherproductions.co.uk/work-with-us

@NatashaHendry Very interesting read, thank you. Good to see you note the potential negative effects of group singing rather than just finding benefits which would be what many choir leaders will want to hear.

Pleased to announce that some of my research has just been published:“Singing for Wellbeing: Formulating a Model for Community Group Singing Interventions” is now published and available at doi.org/10.1177/104973…

@Johnfinney8 He refers to his 2017 book 'Letting Art Teach' which I may try to read/understand too.

@hjonathan83 And I think I get the 'being in the world'.

'World-centred education' by Gert Biesta looks as if it might help me to conceptualise world-centred music education better. (No, nothing to do with 'world music', but about 'being in the world' existentially.)

@DrFautley @PrimaryMusicMag The article by Matthew Berry 'Slovenia in song' in the current @ChoirandOrgan makes impressive reading!

Revisiting this after a few years is interesting. I still think all of these things! But there are also matters which I was rather hoping to draw to the attention of the MMC authors, which, sadly, doesn't seem to have happened, well, not much 😥 Anyway, thanks @PrimaryMusicMag 👍

Our rehearsals resume on Tuesday 14 September, 7.15pm to 9.15pm at St Michael's, Perry Street, Northampton NN1 4HL. New singers are very welcome to join us. Contact us for links to the term's music.
