Line of Duty characters as orchestral musicians: a thread 🧵
Kate Fleming: French horn. Dependable. Fearless. Mad transposition skillz. Good company in the pub. Image
Ted Hastings: double bass. Longest serving member of the orchestra. Knows the minutest intricacies of every score better than any conductor. Image
Chloe Bishop: 2nd violin. Recruited straight out of music college. Outrageously talented. Never puts a foot wrong. Everyone would hate her if she wasn’t so lovely. Team Chloe. Image
Steve Arnott: viola. Excellent all round musician. The ultimate team player. Likes a pint or three after a concert. Image
Patricia Carmichael: cor anglais. Enjoys committee meetings. Complains to management about people being untidy in shared dressing rooms. Makes passive aggressive comments about other people’s intonation. Terrorises new players. Image
Jo Davidson: 1st violin. Competent, but an absolute mess of nerves. Image
Ryan Pilkington: trumpet. Doesn’t speak to anybody outside of the brass section. Image
Farida Jatri: cello. Practises 6hrs a day. Constantly worried about getting fired for no real reason. Loses all her pencils. Image
Andrea Wise: trombone. It is rumoured that she once smiled briefly a few years ago, but no photographic evidence exists. Absolutely everybody is terrified of her, especially the conductor. Image

How to practise: a thread of practice tips I wish I’d worked out when I was younger 🧵
Being kind and patient with yourself is way WAY more effective and generates much more actual progress than beating yourself up. If you have no idea where to start with this, imagine how you might encourage a gifted but not very confident child
If you’re SUPER struggling with a simple passage, that’s GREAT! That’s your brain showing you what it needs to work on today. It will suck for the whole practice session, but just keep at it for a while. When you wake up the next day after sleeping on it it’ll probably be fine

Having a great relationship with your luthier is so SO important, so here’s a story about Mark @ProArteLondon who looks after my bows 🧵
I am hugely clumsy. A few weeks ago I managed to hit my beloved Hill bow on the kitchen counter and was horrified to discover a tiny, TINY chip of wood had come out of the tip. I found it on the floor. It was literally a fraction of a millimetre wide.
Here’s the complication: I have a cat. People will tell you cats are clean animals. Those people have not met my cat. Teddy is an unholy messy eater. I could not be 100% sure that this tiny piece of wood was not, in fact, a tiny piece of dried up cat food.
