As part of my own musical growth I moved from conventional keyboards that make the sounds internally and therefore have a lifespan albeit large and moved over to the new computer generated VST sounds. As part of making this move i made an intermediate step where I still had my analogue mixer and my rack mounted sound modules. Despite all assurances we often find it hard to abandon that with which we are so familiar, to embrace the completely new or "Always caution I've been bitten before."

This project again shows the pupils the value of being able to manufacture your own solutions. There is nothing more satisfying than being sat at a piece of furniture you designed and made.

As I get nearer retirement (Oh Dear) I am starting to plan not just the building of my own furniture but the construction of a complete house, I already know that it is unlikely that there is a solution that fits my needs so I am considering building the perfect fit.
