Huntingdonshire Music School Association - Hums

Strange times. The Internet is a useful tool and it provides so many good things. There are those, however, who exploit the work of others.

I was browsing randomly and found that our very own Robin Norman - Director of the Senior Concert Band and brass tutor is now available as a ring tone for a phone. It’s Robin playing Czardas - something I believe he used to play as a party piece whilst performing with the GUS Band.

It’s not hard to guess where this was obtained from - someone or something has trawled our very own HUMS Aloud podcast site where, episode 3 features Robin playing Czardas recorded at the 40th birthday celebrations for the music school as part of the ‘Leader’s Excuse-Me’ concert where the teachers took to the stage instead of the students.

Not sure what to think to this. It would be nice if the performer got some acknowledgement.

All of us who go there agree that the Music School is a great place to go to.  However, not a lot of people know about us and what our unique points are.  These include theory and aural lessons as part of the package, as well as your individual tuition; ensembles to play in; etc.

We now need some help with getting the message out there.  The committee have formed a sub-group to look at this and have lots of ideas but are in need of a bit of specialist guidance.  So if you have these skills and could spare a bit of time that would be great.  You will not be asked to do all the work but to tell us what would work.  Also you would be welcome to join in the group to help in a number of ways.  We are currently putting together terms of reference for the group so that you can see what would be involved.
