And the winner of our Beaumont Music flute case competition is... Sonia England!

We recently ran a fantastic flutey give-away on our Facebook Page, courtesy of our lovely friends at Beaumont Music. It was a chance to win one of their fabulous oversized pencil cases flute cases. The winner could choose from the 8 designs available, and we threw in a cleaning cloth too.

So, as you can see, we literally drew the name of the winner out of a hat (a woolen hat of some description, as it happens) and the name we drew out was Sonia England, so very well done to her and many congratulations!

YMEC 2013 at The School of Philosophy, Leeds on 13 Sept 2013

Yorkshire Music Education Conference 2013, a new CPD-focused event for teachers from across the region, will take place on 13 September at The School of Philosophy, Leeds.

The day will be jam-packed with a wide range of high quality training sessions, catering for both instrumental/vocal teachers and classroom teachers – both specialists and non-specialists – helping everyone get the new academic year off to an inspirational, musical start.

YMEC - sponsored by June Emerson Wind Music and Trinity College - is organised for teachers, by teachers. And with leading presenters such as John Holmes (ABRSM Chief Examiner) and Paul Harris among the line-up, it promises to be an unmissable day.

Alongside the extensive event programme will be the opportunity to browse the latest sheet music and resources on offer from retailers at the trade stands and network with like-minded colleagues.

There are still a few delegate places remaining... Click here to secure yours today!

It says on our website that we stock over 40,000 titles

(It must be many more than that by now...)

So just in case you thought that we couldn't possibly have it all in stock, ready to send, here's a photo of the flute music shelves. (That's just studies and pieces; ensembles are round the corner and take up a third as much shelf space again!)

Our Flute Music Shelves

One for the clarinetists... This is one of our clarinet shelves:

167 method books

410 study books

2,977 pieces 

(ensembles take up another wall)

growing daily!

Visitors are always welcome and there's a space to play through pieces if you bring your instruments. It's a beautiful part of the world and well worth a visit!

We wish you all a wonderful 2013

Left to right: Stewart, Jeremy, Graham, John, Tracy, Sarah, Alison.

18th December 2012: Here we all are having our staff Christmas lunch at The White Swan in Ampleforth – our wonderful friendly local pub which does excellent food too! 

That day was a significant birthday for Alison (not telling...), Rachel's birthday, the day after Stewart’s birthday, a week after Tracy’s birthday, a week before John’s birthday and 2 weeks before Jeremy’s birthday!

Snow at Windmill Farm

Snowfall and its effects...

Windmill Farm House

The view from the office window

Up here on our North Yorkshire hilltop, we're rather exposed to the weather and heavy snowfall means we're not always able to get to the office. We will always try to get here, even if we have to dig our way in and then dig ourselves out again to get home. If you call during office hours and get the answering machine, or email and don't hear from us as quickly as you would normally, it will probably be because of the weather.

Please be assured, though, that we will make every effort to keep June Emerson Wind Music running as smoothly as possible. Thank you for your patience and continued support!
