The launch of The Trouble in Tune Town – a day that in so many ways I thought would never arrive – came and went with much fanfare, enthusiasm and relief! The highlight for me was the involvement of Music for Canberra’s young musicians in the form of two ensembles – the MFC youth strings ensemble and Peg Mantle Strings – and also the open, light-filled space of the National Library. My son and daughter spoke about their challenges with music, especially when learning difficult new pieces, and I enjoyed an author’s reading then meeting and signing books for many budding young musicians, followed by music-themed craft activities. All in all, a great day and the first, I hope, of many book launches.
