KEEPING IN TOUCH
Hello everyone
I hope you have all been enjoying today’s very welcome sunshine and also the first step ‘little steps’ in the relaxation of Covid regulations. Spring is definitely in the air and perhaps things are slowly getting back to some sort of ‘normal’.
Last week you should have all received a link to a YouTube message from me – if it didn’t arrive then just click here to see what I said! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLW4TmAnwDQ
And today, Chair of MfE, John Hess, has surrounded himself in Easter eggs and posted a message to you all. Here is the link

Our plans for youth activities continue to develop. Details about our Youth Wind Band afternoon on Saturday 19th June and our Youth String Orchestra afternoon on Sunday 20th June are now available from our website. This should be a great way to get young people back into playing so if you know anyone who might be interested then please do encourage them to come along.
Here is the link (click on the title of each event for more details): https://www.music-for-everyone.org/workshops-and-courses/
Next Monday is Easter Monday so MfEMondays is taking the day off!
Have a good Easter break.
With all best wishes
Angela
- Online concert alert! Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky, performed by members of Sinfonia Viva in the atmospheric surroundings of Derby Museum’s Joseph Wright Gallery, all led by MfE Summer School tutor and Sinfonia Viva principal clarinettist Chris Swann. The concert is available until 23 April, here’s the link: https://www.sinfoniaviva.co.uk/Event/wind-quintet-performs-pictures-at-an-exhibition
- To celebrate Bach’s birthday (31st March… although some debate it’s the 21st!) here’s something interesting we found! Some very clever musicians designed this ‘musical signature’ using just a single note. Did you know that the Germans use the notation H for what we would call Bb, so if you rotate this very clever image starting at the bottom and name the notes from the corresponding clef (treble, tenor and alto) it spells B A C H!
Have a good week!
Your friends at MfE.
