Next Episode: 166. You can't tell a flute player what instrument to play, they decide! - David Farley

2000 concerts, 2 million children and 12 years of musical Joy!

In part 2 of her interview with Atarah Ben-Tovim M.B.E Clare asks about the fabulous Atarah's Band and how it came about. "Doing large scale kids concerts in big auditoriums wasn't an easy sell as a woman back in the 60's and 70's."

Atarah also speaks about the use of the thumb Bb vs the long Bb fingering and whilst she doesn't get nervous as a performer, does when she accompanies her students in their exams!
