Thanks for reading All of time and space. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for the advice. Thanks to One Change At A Time and Hanna Wilbur for writing the occasional post (it’s nice to have a change from me once in a while 
). Just thank you.
Now, let’s go big and get 10,000.
I came across a great video today about dealing with stress. I’ve tried to embed it, but it won’t work, so you’ll have to click on the link below to see (bear in mind I don’t know whether the content will work outside of the UK – sorry):

What are your thoughts on the video? Do you have any stress management tips of your own? Post them below.
Update: It definitely doesn’t work outside of the UK. Thanks to Hanna for the confirmation.
Stress and a zebra
Recently, I have come across a brass band theory (and much more) website. and I just had to share it. There are study pages, fun quizzes, levels… it goes on and on.
The website is…
http://www.mrgolding.com
. As you may have guessed, the guy who made it is called Mr Golding.
You can leave feedback/ask questions etc. by emailing your queries to mrgolding@hotmail.co.uk.
One use I would suggest is to set homework to players in a brass band to look at a theory page, study it, do the quiz, and have the quiz during rehearsals to see what they have learned. A fun way to do theory to improve their playing and music skills no end.
You could set them instructions like:
Very simple, and people’s music skills will improve in a fun yet challenging way.
Note: Feel free to use the sample instructions I have used, or edit them to your needs.
