Piano Concert raises £150 for Betina’s Lessons

Will — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:22:18 +0000

The piano concert last Saturday raised £150 for the Kampala Music School Bursary fund. A record number of students attended and were performing, 27 in total. Everybody gave it there best shot and though most people were very nervous, they played well. After the presentation of the piano points cup (which arrived just in time thanks to Mrs Hay) piano points and exam certificates were awarded. Half way through the programme we heard our sponsored student from Kampala Music School, Betina play her violin. I have posted videos of three performances from the concert below. If you would like a high-quality video clip of your child’s performance then please send a memory stick in with them to their next lesson.

Piano Concert raises £92 for CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA

Will — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 14:19:15 +0000

The concert went very nicely on Saturday raising a healthy sum for CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA. If you didn’t get a chance to make a donation then it is still possible to do so online and add to the total. Clicking on the banner to the left of the website will take you straight to the on-line donation page.

Five students were presented with certificates for recent ABRSM exam successes and Alice received the piano points cup which she gets to keep until the next concert. As I mentioned at the concert, the piano points results for this term will be published on Sunday 20th December.

If you have media from the concert (photos or video) that you would like to share then please feel free to add them to the facebook event page for the concert. I have uploaded audio recordings of all the performances but not added them to the gallery this time. Email me if you would like a link to hear your performance again.
