After an incredible 31 years of service, our much-loved administrator, Dagmar, is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, care and unwavering support for everyone at Music House. From her early days in our old Shire Oak building to the bustling hub of Music House HQ, Dagmar has been at the heart of our organisation, the very central nervous system keeping everything running smoothly.
Over the years, Dagmar has managed an astonishing range of responsibilities – from coordinating day-to-day administration, keeping our systems and schedules in order, to overseeing communications, bookings and paperwork with her meticulous touch. She’s also been a friendly first point of contact for visitors, families and young people, providing a warm welcome and always ensuring everyone feels supported.
Beyond the admin desk, Dagmar’s contribution to the pastoral care of our community has been invaluable. She has quietly listened, offered guidance, and provided reassurance whenever it was needed, making her a reassuring presence for staff, students and families alike. Her steady dedication, patience and care have helped shape the culture of Music House into the welcoming, vibrant space it is today.
As Dagmar steps into retirement, we celebrate her remarkable commitment and the countless ways she has supported our work, our people and our mission. She will be greatly missed and we wish her a future filled with joy, relaxation and plenty of music!
We have the tissues ready because there will be tears. What do they say? It’s not goodbye it’s Au-revoir.
If you know Dagmar and would like to send her a card, you know our address or drop one in by hand. We will be giving her a hero’s send off – but we know she will always be very close in our hearts.
