exam results

Once again, autumn 2014 set a new record for excellent results. Everyone who took a graded examination was awarded a distinction! One student took the Prep Test in singing, and had excellent comments- everyone else got distinctions with London College of Music and Trinity Guildhall, for singing, piano, early learning and jazz pianos. Well done everyone: you thoroughly deserved your awards as you all worked so hard.

Don't forget the new date for our Halloween party is Saturday 13th October at 3pm. You're welcome to dress up but remember we'lll be doing some crafts and maybe some messy games, so nothing too precious! And think about what piece you're going to play to the other revellers! See you there....

Welcome to all my new studetns who started piano this term! It's the best thing you can do- you will get so much pleasure and satisfaction from playing. Here's to the rst of your musical life!!!!

I am delighted that Cam and Dursley Children's Choir, which will be a new community choir, set up as a charity, for all primary school aged children in the area, will start on 16th September at 3-4pm at Cam Parish Council. The first session is free, afterwards we will charge £1.50 per session or £10 per term (3 terms per year)

We have already been asked to perform at Dursley Library before Christmas and hope to do some other local "gigs" as well and I'm working on a bigger project for the future.

Children only need to love singing- no need to be able to read music, but enjoy all kinds of music from pop to classical, folk, christmas carols to gospel! We won't be sitting down much, but moving around, making the sessions fun and appropriate for all types of children's learning! We also hope to incorporate some Makaton signing as well, and would encourage children with disabilities to join us (parents might need to stay to help though as we are working with a small volunteer band of helpers!)

One of the first things we will be doing is running a competition for children to design a logo for the choir, which we hope can then be reproduced on T shirts!

Soon there will be a dedicated page on this website for information about the choir. Until then, please continue to contact me the normal way!
