Inside King's-Edgehill School
Although music making at KES is on a limited platform at the moment due to pandemic concerns, I am comforted by the fact that some small 'bubbles' are finding ways to loft successfully, while taking precautions to stay safe from COVID-19. One such bubble group is a duo comprised of Grade 10 students, Sidney Schwartz (piano), and Lucy Goddard (vocals). These two delightful young ladies are both multi-talented and keen to make a little time each day to find a quiet and secluded place to inject a little music therapy into their otherwise demanding schedule of honours level courses. This week I heard them rehearsing their unique rendition of a Sara Bareilles song, entitled Not Alone. The lyric passages that caught my ear were... there is something in the shadows...& ...something sinister and strange... & ...you're making me feel, the monsters are real... and I thought, hey, it's Halloween time: let's make these sinister monsters in this song real for the occasion. Lucy and Sidney agreed and did this rendition on the first take, making it look easy and sounding great. I hope this song helps you get into a great mindset for All Hallows' Eve; BEWARE of deadly musicality!

Sidney adds:
Hi I'm Sidney. Lucy and I have been singing and playing together for last couple years since we met. She's kept me playing even when I didn't feel like it. Most days we are in the music room before we can go to eat our lunch together. I am truly glad she keeps me practising and continuing to get better.
