Pupils celebrate grading successes
A large number of talented musicians have been rewarded for their hard work with a series of grading successes.
Eight pupils in total came out with outstanding marks from their Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music exams, which continues our fine achievements in exam gradings this year.
There was a distinction for Vincent Kohm in his Grade Three Jazz Piano exam, which rounded off a fine few weeks for the 17 year-old, who achieved high praise for his performance at the Chester Music Festival.
Will Sissons proved he is just as adept with a piano as a bat with a merit in his Grade Four Jazz Piano grading, while Kevin Farrell received a pass in his Piano exam at the same level.
Brother Eddie Farrell came through his Grade Six Violin exam with a pass, which made it a clean sweep for the Farrell family as Prep School pupil Liam gained his Grade Two Clarinet certificate.
The girls’ at the school were not to be outdone, with Year 7 pupil Emily Madden achieving a merit in her Grade One Piano grading, and Isobel Bateson also secured the same mark in her Grade One Harp.
Poppy Goddard now has a Grade One flute certificate to her name, and Shruthi Ganapathi continued her exceptional work on the Piano by passing her Grade Three exam.
