This is a title

Well this was exciting. Not sure if I've mentioned this before but for the last few months Jackson has been composing a piece for the piano. It's quite long. And all in his head. A few things have happened (he wanted to start another one so needed the space in his head and he didn't want to forget this one, and there are some things he would like to do that he lacks the technical skills for) that have led to him having a session with a composition teacher this morning. One with, it turns out, not the reams of paper and many pencils I had expected, but a piece of software that goes some way to doing the job for you. Still enormous amounts of manual tinkering required and apparently much was learned. And plans have been made for a longer session next week. So far there are 37 bars.

Long morning in the classroom making considerable inroad into costume sorting for the show. One final session on Monday and we should be good to go.

Oh and chance to read Anna's report and get it sent back to the head for correcting...she must walk around the school as if she had been elected House Captain.

Then home for some lying around feeling ill. I have been fighting a stomach bug all week and occasionally it wins. The only thing it really likes is when I eat something very dull so toast for dinner it is.
