Pupil Concert thanks 2022

Huge thank you to everyone who helped our students perform this weekend. It’s been such a long time since we had the chance to play to one another. We played in 3 smaller groups this year, which made it a super encouraging environment. Some fabulous playing – individual items and duets, everyone chose something they loved to play. We’ve collected cash and online donations, and sent £150 to the Sheffield Children’s Hospital, which is just fantastic.

Thank you to St. Andrew’s Psalter Lane church, to Debbie and Helen for being wonderful hosts. And also to Fiona and Jenna who did an amazing job serving refreshments and helping me clear up.

Velocity by Burgmuller, and a Mike Cornick’ jazz duet
Two fabulous flautists perform for the first time

Amazing Step 1 playing – Let It Go & Ketchuo

4.30: Foundation students – beginners to grade 2

Tea and cake after each recital. Get your baking things out… all money from tea and cake donations will be sent straight to Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

A small £4 fee will be added to Autumn invoices to help towards the substantial hire cost of such a prestigious venue. Super super exciting!
