HM current group of flute students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Editor’s note<\/strong>: This address was delivered by Director of\u00a0 HMMW,\u00a0 Pearle Christian, at a concert at the CHS auditorium on December 9, 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n

When in 1983 I began instrumental tutoring at the Kairi school of Music, I taught students recorder and flute, doors flung wide open to the public.<\/p>\n

I extend deep gratitude to Leng Sorhaindo, for initiating a project so admirable
\nFor 19 years Kairi provided music education, with standards high and commendable.
\nThe school eventually closed its doors, music teachers went separate ways.
\nI continued to offer tuition on flute, and those too were beautiful days!
\nThen in came 2015 with retirement from the Public Service,
\nThe Henckell Muriel Workshop was officially established, now ten years later, we
\nreminisce.<\/p>\n

I kept on tutoring on flute and opened up for the young on recorder
\nWe started with two, and gradually grew, to as many as seventeen in number.
\nThe passage of time wove an undulating landscape, with a roll of ebb and flow
\nEach student weaving a particular thread, into this Music workshop tapestry we now
\nknow<\/p>\n

With our current roll of 15 flutes and 16 recorders, we continue our upward climb,
\nOur mission simple and resolute, \u201cNurturing minds one note at a time\u201d.
\nToday with gratitude we celebrate ten years, no fanfare, no flags unfurled,
\nJust some sweet music to warm your hearts and light up the corners of our world.
\nSo ladies and gentlemen welcome to Musical flames and whether you stand or sit,
\nWe hope that you receive it with as much love, as we laboured to prepare it!<\/p>\n

Welcome!!!<\/p>\n

Pearle Christian
\nDirector – HMMW
\n(2025)<\/p>\n
