On Thursday I heard that Atarah Ben Tovim, the flute teacher who taught me at Huddersfield School of Music from 1975 to '77, has died.
This is sad news. The last time I saw Atarah was in 2009 at the British Flute Convention in Manchester. She commissioned a piece from me - Chinese Steps - for flute choir.
Here's a clip of her (with Robin Hill on guitar):
As a teacher she was brilliant although, sometimes, completely honest and forthright. As an encourager, unparalleled.
A short piano piece in memoriam:
I’m so sorry to hear about Atarah Ben Tovim’s passing. It’s clear she left an incredible mark as both a teacher and an encourager. Her honesty and dedication are truly inspiring. As someone who appreciates the depth of mentorship in any field—even for PhD Literature Review Writers—her legacy reminds us how transformative great guidance can be.
What I appreciate most about MasterStorage365 is the attention to detail. From climate-controlled options to drive-up convenience, every feature makes life easier. I often use https://www.masterstorage365.com/ conference room for client meetings, and having mailbox rentals on-site saves me extra trips. It’s like they’ve thought of everything to make storage stress-free and efficient.
