About
Welcome! I'm Audrey Podmore, music teacher, composer and facilitator. I launched this site, in September 2002 to support all kinds of creative and inclusive music-making. At that time online music publishing was in it's infancy and, as a pioneer, I happily 'ploughed my own furrow'! These days, though, the scene has changed beyond recognition and I constantly need to find new ways to relate with visitors and make resources available. It's a very daunting task for one person, with so much material to share! You can read a little about what's here, below, or explore the Sitemap. Please do contact me with any comments, ideas or questions you may have. I look forward to sharing with you, soon!
