A song for Greg: "Hearts Like Diamonds" Billings, Fairbairn, Leehy, O'Mara
Years ago (25, in fact) the team wrote a song to celebrate Greg’s 50th birthday ... but we never got round to a recorded version. So the team assembled at the Upwey studio to finally do so and in doing so create some memories of Greg for his family, friends and fans. Please feel free to download a free copy, with lyrics and chord charts with our compliments. Head to our homepage and follow the link

Vale Greg Rough 12 APRIL, 1951 - 26 JULY, 2025
It is with great sadness we announce the loss of our dear friend, colleague and
brother-in-arms, Greg Rough, Gentleman Musician. Greg was a founding member of
Paradiddle, along with Rob Fairbairn, Mark Leehy and Kevin O’Mara. Over 45 years
our paths crisscrossed in all sorts of ways. No surprise, then, that some of Greg’s
work spilled over into Bushfire press, to whom he was a songwriter, musician ... and
even a video folk dance and Tai Chi demonstrator! He was a joy to work with and a
joy to be with and he will always be a brother to us. Goodbye brother, you had a
heart like diamonds.

years ago.

Upper Primary students won't be allowed to have their own TikTok accounts but what if you brought it into the classroom anyway 😱😱 would you gain instant street cred with the students? ?

While I've probably just lost any street cred I had by using the term street cred in the first place... You on the other hand could gain immediate engagement with your students by using our Sea Shanty unit! Based off the viral TikTok hit - The Wellerman, students love the idea that they're joining in with something global and learning about something when they're not really supposed to 🤫

🎶 Struggling to keep your Upper Primary students engaged? You’re not alone — but here's something to turn that around!

My go-to? Music Room Book 6! Particularly the Reggae and the Blues units. They've been a game-changer when I've worked in both government and non-government schools. The students LOVE it. The songs are catchy, the lessons easy to teach, and they can sing and play songs in three easy parts, which gives that magical "wow" moment when it all comes together (particularly when your principals walk past!)

💡 Want to test it out before committing? Follow the link and you can **buy just the Reggae Unit** and see the difference for yourself.

And here’s the cherry on top 🍒 — pair it with Ukulele Room and play 'Get it Together' from the Reggae unit using just F and C chords, and you've got yourself a guaranteed hit that gets even your trickiest students involved and smiling.

✅ Instant engagement
✅ Quality learning
✅ Loads of fun

🎵 Try the Reggae Unit today and bring the vibe to your classroom!
