Monthly Teaching

Once a month I'm going back to Germany to teach over the weekend. I'm so blessed by dedicated students! They seemed genuinely devastated when I told them I was moving to the UK and then genuinely eager that I come back to teach them periodically. I won't be doing this forever, but it's a good thing to do to maintain ties and perhaps I'll be able to do some singing every once in a while!

So far, it's worked very well, that I've come on Thursday, taught on Friday and Saturday and again on Monday and Tuesday. The church of Christ the King (CtK), in Frankfurt - the church I've attended since arriving in Frankfurt in 1997 - generously gives me space to teach on these long weekends. Generally, I give each of my pupils 2 lessons over the course of the 4 days. It's like a mini-seminar for them.

While I'm in Frankfurt (Ffm) I stay with friends. I still have lots of them here and it's great fun to see them and spend time with them. Usually, my Prosperity group meets for a few hours of meditation and energy work. It's also great that I'm in Ffm over the weekend so that I get to go to CtK and sing with the choir, my buddies. I've been around so often since I moved though (almost more often than after I moved to Oftersheim), that they haven't really had a chance to miss me!

Moved to London

Yes, I've moved to London and everything is topsy turvy here... Well, life has been a bit turbulent, what with moving, going back and forth now to Germany to teach monthly, organizing the wedding(s) etc. I haven't had much time to worry about a career here in London, so I don't have much in that respect to write about.

I did, however find a good teacher, one I can collaborate with on the improvement and training of my voice as well as getting me up to par for auditioning here.

Magnus and I will be getting married in a civil ceremony on May 27 (and later on Sept. 1 in church) and after that, I will hopefully have time and mental space to get the ball rolling.
