Hi,

Our son is 15, on the autism spectrum with (medicated) ADHD, very cheerful and friendly. He's developed an interest in music and has been 'teaching' himself to play piano by picking out tunes on his iPad for a while, so by way of experiment we got him a high-range toy piano (full size keys, just not the full range), which he's also playing. We took him for an assessment with an SN-specialist piano teacher who said he had a good feel for it, and he loved the lesson, so now we're seeking someone who lives locally.

Experience with autism/ADHD is an advantage but not a necessity; teachers used to younger children will probably do fine with him. He's keen to learn, and would have a parent with him in the lesson to help support any SN issues. 

If this would work for anyone, please get in touch! Or if you know anyone you'd recommend, do let me know.

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Interesting question - do the new ground rent caps and leasehold reforms apply ? Worth asking your solicitor because the actual value of the freehold or any leasehold extension might be minimal now.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      I suppose I'd assume that Councillor McCash, who is, as I recall, a self-confessed revolutionary Marxist, had hoped to take Southwark Labour down his chosen route - when he lost his leadership bid he must then have been looking for a party which shared his ultra-left views (ultra-left at least in the light of Starmer's interpretation of socialism). The Greens, for him, clearly fit that role. After that his timing was all about benefiting his chosen (new) party - at least he didn't stand for Labour and then defect giving the Greens an unexpected 3 year seat. As someone who doesn't share the wings of his political position I don't wish him well (politically) - but neither do I wish him ill as a 'punishment' for his defection.
