I have been signed up to Twitter for almost two months and it has been both entertaining and informative. This evening I spent some time sorting out a small pile of sheet music and it reminded me to look on Twitter for others with similar musical interests. This led me to various online stories and I couldn’t resist including links to two of them here. The first is about musical education in UK schools and it reminded me how lucky I had been. The second is about that brilliant violinist, Joshua Bell and I won’t say any more in case I spoil the story.

I’ve heard the Joshua Bell story several times, oh what I wouldn’t give to have been there that morning! I just got his CD “Voice of the Violin”, and am hoping to get tickets to see him when he’s in Portland next month.
I had not heard the Joshua Bell story before so it came as quite a surprise. There are several street musicians in Cardiff, some quite good. Almost regardless of the style of music being played, if the performance was anywhere near the standard of an international concert performer I am sure that it would stop me in my tracks.
