I had such a great night performing with such an incredible band last week! I found it so difficult to find time to sing because of the amount of teaching I was doing – but this year I am making sure that I prioritise everything and get back singing and performing again.
Ariel Posen – guitar
David Hayes – keys
Davie Ryan – drums

Fionn O’ Neill – bass
Dearbhaile Maclean, Sarah Hickey, Sinead Murphy – bv’s
I am really looking forward to running my second teacher training course at The Cork School of Music this April.
This is an intensive 2 day course that looks at basic voice science, energy & awareness, group vs individual teaching methods, strategies for dealing with the different kinds of issues faced by singers, lesson plans, live teaching observations, psychology and lots more!
I had a wonderful time in Vienna – it was great to present my research on popular music education at second and third level. The University of Music and Performing Arts is amazing!
I was delighted that my Academy of Popular Music students had the opportunity to perform for approx. 10k people on Patrick Street for the turning on of the Xmas lights! What a brilliant experience!! #corkgetslit
