🎵 Today is my last day on reception at Harmony Music School! 🎵
For those who don’t know, around 9 years ago one of our receptionists left without any notice, so I temporarily stepped in to help out for a few weeks… and here we are, 9 years later! 😂
I have to admit, my reluctance to give it up probably had something to do with that I’ve loved being part of Caroline’s reception team, but it’s finally time for me to focus more of my time on all the community projects we run at Harmony.
Over the years I’ve set up our Band Development Programme, Youth and Community Choirs, School Holiday Clubs and Dementia-Friendly Music Sessions – and, as you can imagine, they take up quite a bit of my time. Freeing up a few hours each week will make a big difference. That, coupled with the fact that Old Caroline has been pestering me for my Wednesday shift, has finally pushed me out of the reception chair! 😂
I want to say a massive thank you to all our students and families and team who have made my shifts such good fun over the years. I’ve collected enough stories from reception to write a book… maybe call it ...“Behind the Scenes at Harmony: The Weird and the Wonderful!” 😂🎶
Old Caroline will be moving onto my Wednesday shift, while Judith, our newest team member, will be taking over Tuesdays.
Thanks for all the laughs, chats and fun times over the last 9 years. ❤️
I’m not going anywhere – you’ll just find me causing chaos elsewhere at Harmony instead! 🎸🎤🥁
