After keeping my site up to date with daily blogs for the better part of a year I have had a well deserved break but now I’m back where do I start with my blog?

Well so much has happened since I left London.

First of all my new place is awesome!! Complete with my studio to record, work and practice. A must for any professional musician (I’ll get some photos up at some stage) and as a result my regular practice routine is beginning to get back on its feet and advances in my playing with it.

As for gigs my diary’s been nicely full since my return to the midlands and through some persistent networking I’ve secured some corporate work. (More on that in future posts and possible video/photos to accompany).

My teaching has been going well too. My star pupil has achieved his grade 8 at 14, my other rising star has nailed his grade 6 at 10 and all my other pupils are destroying there exams and evolving into strong trumpet players. So much so that I’ve been noticed by the head of music at another private school who saw my pupils play. The school has a very strong music department they have offered me some teaching work with the trumpeters and groups at their school.

All in all I’ve been pretty damn busy.I have missed keeping my site up to date though, so I will try and get back into regular blogging. It won’t be daily like it used to be but I’m going to try and set up a routine to get a couple out every week.

So welcome back to mattrobertsmusic.com and keep reading!
