Our students are taking a whole range of exams today and tomorrow, from the beginners taking their Prep Test to one of our more advanced students taking her ARSM in Music Performance. Good luck to everyone, we know you’ll be wonderful.
We had the first of our Christmas concerts on Saturday, featuring the Wind Ensemble, Junior and Senior String Ensembles, and some soloists. Many of our soloists are preparing for ABRSM exams, and it’s an excellent opportunity to perform one of their exam pieces before an appreciative audience – well done to everyone involved.
Congratulations to one of our flute players, who has just won a place in the London Schools Symphony Orchestra. To win her place, she had to undergo an audition playing a solo piece, as well as perform orchestral excerpts on flute, alto flute and piccolo. The first concert includes The Planets by Holst, a challenging piece. Well done, we are so proud of you!
We’ve been very busy in the office this week, but we have managed to send out next year’s timetables to everyone. Please check it as soon as it arrives and let us know if there are any problems.
Our Early Ears and Music Makers classes are aimed at children from 3-7. The classes include singing, clapping, games with small instruments and rhythm games, all of which build up the fundamental skills needed to play an instrument – and they’re fun too!
We also have vacancies for some instruments – please get in touch to find out more!
We hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine. We’re busy organising next year’s timetable – please look out for it in your inbox in the next week or so.
