As suspected …
Anna didn’t really need good luck yesterday. Steve dumped her at the door and drove off, as he couldn’t park anywhere (also unsurprising!), so she sorted herself out, and got on fine.
She came home with three lots of homework – one of which is going to test her as it’s revising a whole load of science that she hasn’t done, but no matter!
She also arrived back with a planner full of days to remember instruments; Wind Orchestra one day, String Chamber Orchestra another – and a couple more groups besides. Thinking about it, she hasn’t mentioned choir yet! I suspect all of these groups have lots more pupils in them, and aren’t just a mish-mash of other random instrumentalists who happen to be in the school
The friend she made yesterday apparently is also taking Grade 6 piano soon so at dinnertime they went and practised together.
All of these things are exactly the reasons we wanted to make a change, so Steve and I are happy. She got home and whipped through homework and music practice so that she could go out to the local youth club, where she still sees most of her best friends from Pinhoe, so I think she was happy too

It did. She’s been super excited about lessons, thrilled about the music rooms, etc. etc. And exhausted when she gets home!

Must be brilliant to see her so enthused again
When I changed school for 6th form, after having been rather bored for quite a while, I was so in love with the science labs (they had only been in their new building for a year so everything was purpose-built) and it made everything so much more fun again.

How lovely that it’s working out so well so soon. Great stuff.
