I've had my recording and producing hat on recently: several projects are emerging from the Blue Bear Studio complex. Humbug will be at the Turning Wave Festival in Gundagai NSW on September 18th to launch their new Robbie Burns flavoured CD, and The Rafael Jerjen Quartet has the Canberra launch of the new album on October 15th in the ANU Big Band Room. The FunMusic for Little Kids book and CD is being unleashed by Lynne Pilbrow and myself on November 15th at St. Barnabas' in Charnwood, ACT. Lynne says: "The FunMusic for Little Kids program aims to introduce musical knowledge, skills and concepts to children in a fun way, and is designed to foster an enjoyment and love of music. FunMusic draws on the methods expounded by music educators such as Kodaly and Orff, but has been developed to be relevant and accessible to children living in Australia. Lessons are based around themes appropriate to the age and experiences of young children." Here's a sample. And some time or other, the latest collection from Canberra's most celtalicious combo, Cassidy's Ceili, will be showcased. We'll let you know. My clarinet quartet Starling gets an airing with ABC Classic FM on October 3. It's on the At Home programme at 7.05pm
