About me:
In addition to being a sought-after freelance percussionist, Christine Barron has written over 400 compositions to date, including music for film, television and radio. She has written for both Boosey & Hawkes’ educational and recorded music catalogues, as well as orchestral music and music for theatre. Christine’s award-winning tutor books for Boosey & Hawkes – Learn As You Play Drums and Learn As You Play Tuned Percussion & Timpani – continue to attract praise from the percussion world and have been described by Evelyn Glennie as "a wonderful contribution to percussion education". As the sole percussion adjudicator for the British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech, Christine is highly experienced in presenting workshops for children, students, teachers and amateur musicians. She is happy to focus her sessions on group and individual performance, instrumental and classroom teaching, or even the rarer art of composition for percussion. Christine's latest publication Drum Styles Made Easy was released on 12th May 2009 Dedication: for Rod Soysa Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes, London Edition: edition with CD 108 Pages - Ring/Spiral binding ISMN: 979-0-060-12005-3 ISBN: 978-0-85162-571-3 Description Drum Styles Made Easy is the comprehensive resource for drummers who want to learn the many different styles required of the modern kit drummer. Explore rock/pop, funk, show, blues, jazz, swing, Latin, reggae and more. Included with each style are rudiments, exercises, pieces and impro to reinforce and support students. Learn with the unique 'cross-in-a-square' approach. Drum Styles Made Easy is ideal for examination candidates. Currently I am now heavily involved with giving workshops, promoting my new book ‘Drum Styles Made Easy’ through workshops organised by Schott Music Ltd. on behalf of Boosey & Hawkes.

10 of 76MoreI feel kind a tied…and bound I feel pegged to the ground I feel I have no choice… It must be true I guess I’ve given away all my power I feel powerless I have tried to stand apart But I didn’t speak loud I got pulled in to the mass I followed the crowd Like lemmings running fast Not wanting to miss or lose time I found falling… an easier option Than to carry on with the climb I let others rule my life… I wasted so many days and years What’s left… are mere pieces Of all that was once here I didn’t voice my opinion… I didn’t think they would count Slowly losing all my opinions I lost the whole amount… I let others decide for me What dreams to throw away… what dreams I should dream? Compromising my self esteem Now I have no self esteem I danced to deadlines Which some one else always set There were alternatives But I haven’t exercised one yet… We all have free will But some tie it in chains… Respecting yourself above all Is one cure to feeling…walking lame…? Don’t let your circumstances… Be the music for all your dances… That’s how most fighting spirits become tame There are always alternatives You have options …at your option to use How you think at a crossroad or a bend Will decide whether you win or you lose
OK & Thanks!
ENJOY

It's an unusual day...
I'm not sure which forces are at play...
Someone...Something is taking the structure apart...
brick by brick...layer by layer
from the skin to the heart...
Who is behind this slow...dismantling of my soul...?
Who is behind the tolls?
I feel like a handful of clay...
being remanufactured today...
slowly being moulded in to what I need be…
Who is sculpturing me?
Which artist?
Which hand?
Who is in command?
I feel more strength in my heart and bones...
I simply never feel alone…
I feel someone is always there...
and that my soul is in their care...
What relationship are you to me?
Expose yourself so I can see...
Who is sailing this ship...guiding me?
And when I feel I may come apart...
Who is reinforcing the heart?
Who owns this chisel and knife?
Own up ...own up Dear Life...
Test me if you must test me
But don't let anything break me...
And if I start to fall apart...
rebuild and remake me...
I don't mind paying a fair toll
For the chiselling of my soul...
I know I am being mined...
someone somewhere is processing my soul …I'm being refined
I feel a kind chisel and knife...
reshaping my life...
Like a piece of coal...
Dear Life …Chiselling my SOUL
Thanks Tony!
