All about  sound at DR TOOT.  A cat of DR TOOT has to have good ears to listen to.  Daddy was very busy practicing tuba part for the Saturday concert with Manukau Symphony Orchestra (MSO) - Mahler 1.  We heard the same pieces all the time…again and again.  He had to go out for rehearsals for a few nights and also went to brass quintet rehearsal one night.  We missed daddy at night time this week, especially my big sis Zara wasn’t happy…she was lonely without daddy.

Two students of daddy had a Trinity Exam on Friday.  He always goes to see his students at an exam place how they are doing no matter how busy he is….Also this time, he went to cheer them up.  Daddy told us that they did very well…well done, Jasper and Cameron !

Saturday night, MSO had a concert and cerebrated the 20^th anniversary !  Wow, 20 years old, much older than me J Mind you, I will be three year-old next year, that means I will be 21 in human age. Wow, I will catch up…Amazing !  Well, mummy told us that the concert was full and great ! Daddy was emotional and nervous, but he played very well - the sound was very smooth and full.   Mummy was soooooo proud of him…Zara too…of course, me three JJJ

Two pre-loved instruments have found new home this week – a Yamaha flute 311ll went to a new owner in Feilding through TradeMe, and one of our customers in Lower Hutt purchased a Yanagisawa alto sax A880.  More reeds from Gonzalez in Argentina arrived this week.  Daddy had caught up his repairs and had quiet moments….then soon some instruments for repairs and services have arrived again from everywhere New Zealand.  So, daddy was working in the afternoon today…and mummy was busy packing sold accessories.

While mummy and daddy were working today, Zara and I had a very quiet Sunday.  I tried to escape once but wasn’t successful….it was raining outside, so that’s ok….never mind ! After concert, today no more music…YES, it was damn quiet J
