Studio admin system issue

A few parents have reported issues with logging into my new on-line lesson booking system. The problem lies with the default Internet Explorer settings you are using. The best thing to do is to use a different browser, I recommend Google Chrome. (Click accept and install after clicking on the link and it will automatically install.) You will find this much smoother, faster and easier to use than Internet Explorer and it accepts session cookies by default.

Alternatively, you need to change the “Privacy Settings” in your internet options so that session cookies are allowed. Go to “Internet Options” in your control panel, click on the Privacy tab and reduce from Medium to Low then click OK.

You should now find that you can log in to the system correctly at http://whay.me/plc

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.
