Spring

My walks to the post office are now increasingly dry and sunny.  A few days ago I discovered these little buddies on my path, sitting in a sunny and sheltered spot.  They were only a couple of days old and weren't sure what to make of me.  Their mothers had gone off into the fields either side of the path, but returned sharpish when the lambs started bleating, wondering what to do.  I gently shepherded them up the path to the gate where they came in, they went off with their mothers and I carried on my way.  A few days earlier I found a herd of cattle sitting on the path - such are the hazards of taking my parcels to the post office on foot!

So, back to work - this week I have been increasing the music listed on the website for several instruments:

• euphonium/baritone - much increased section of repertoire
• bassoon - more repertoire
• clarinet - more repertoire, still in progress

I have also added cello tailguts (at a really low price too) in response to a customer request - please do ask if you need something and can't find it.  I have a long list of things I would like to add to the website, but only so many hours in the day - if it exists there is a good chance I can get it, so feel free to ask!

New on the website...

I have now taken care of most of the price changes on the website, so now I have added new products to the gifts and greeting cards sections.

Here are pictures of some of the new products - ringbinder, post-it style sticky notes, and keyring.

I have also been adding new products in a number of areas:

• Classical guitar - CDs and books for the ABRSM exam syllabus, also guitar repertoire


• Harp - a brand new section which I hope to develop further over the summer months, it's rather thin at present!


• Harpsichord - another brand new section which contains all the ABRSM publications for the instrument


• Piano - I have massively expanded the piano repertoire and there is a lot of it! I can now supply all the pieces by the major composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann, etc., published by ABRSM publishing - that's an awful lot of music!


• CD recordings of the ABRSM syllabus for oboe, viola, saxophone, cello, bassoon.


• ABRSM jazz syllabus for trumpet, trombone, saxophone, flute, clarinet.


• an improved section for percussion


• more generally, I now list almost all ABRSM publications

In June/July the exam boards will be publishing the new syllabus for a number of instruments, along with several new publications and these will be added then.

As usual during school holidays, business has slowed down a bit (hence why I have been able to add so much to the website) but I am gearing up for the start of the new school term next week!

Easter Holidays

I hope everyone enjoys the nice long holiday over the Easter weekend.

Orders placed in the online shop will be processed and posted Monday 6th to Thursday 9th April, and then from Tuesday 14th.  VS Music Supplies will be closed Friday 10th to Monday 13th April inclusive.

I do hope you all enjoy your break, and don't eat too much chocolate.  I am an addict and will certainly be indulging in an easter egg!
